Pat-

I have been around since your life-changing event on Black Thursday,
and I want to express that you have been more of a public servant
than the ones that I elect.

My advice: "be strong."

> Earlier today, Wednesday, I had a very bad incident. During the night,

> looked and sounded, they insisted I had to go to the hospital ASAP. So
> I was taken to Mercy Hospital here in Independence, where a decision
> was reached that (whatever else is wrong with me) I have a very bad
> case of bronchitis and my lungs are not in good shape. I was put on
> 'breathing treatments' with oxygen and ambuterol (?) I have to smoke a
> pipe with some liquid pumped into it and an oxygen combination hooked

> dizzy since that time, and am due for a new brain shunt anyway, but
> I am not sure if it is worth the time and money for a trip all the way

> stay in touch as much as I can. I am back home from the hospital,
> where I was at all day Wednesday. PAT]
