Janet and all the rest of my NE/IA friends -- thank you all for your thoughts and prayers. Jean and I are gonna give this our best shot, and hoping to be able to keep fit and active throughout -- all the reading i've been doing indicates that attitude and fitness are very significant issues in the success of this kind of treatment. Gonna be as strong as possible. Hope to see y'all at Waters Edge at Regionals -- wanna catch up with all my midwest waterski family this summer.
