Thank the Deity you have one of those fancy computoboxes with all the special keys.

I did a little catch-up on the blog today. Six (6) new entries... six (6) emails.

BTW we loved the dunkin' dog!

When you upgrade your computobox, get the one with two "delete" keys, it will save you a lot of time.

Hey Bill and Deb -

I just found your Christmas card with the blogsite listed. Sorry not to be in touch for so long. A lot has happened in the last year, especially on the health front. I'm fine, but I've spent a lot of time seeing doctors. Here's the short version.
Sept 2007 Developed bad tendonitis in left elbow.
Nov 2007-May 2008 physical therapy
Dec 2007 - Cortisone shot, worked for 3 months or so.
June 25, 2008 - Biopsy of prostate. Ouch. "Oh," he says. "There might be some blood in your urine for a day or so." Jesus, it looked like Rosie O'Donnell had her period in my Johnson! For two weeks after, it felt like I had been kicked in the nuts two hours ago. Not only does the biopsy hurt, but it shows early prostate cancer. I decide to get the whole thing ripped out.
June 29 Surgery on my elbow. As long as I'm going to be recovering from prostate surgery, I might as well be recovering from elbow surgery at the same time, right?
August 4, 2008 - Prostate removed, so is cancer. The surgeon calls it a "surgical cure." So in five weeks, I went from "I've got cancer," to "I'm a cancer survivor." My PSA (prostate specific antigen, produced by the body fighting prostate cancer) has been undetectable since the surgery.
Dec 22 2008 = Onset of shingles. Wo, Nelly. You don't want it. Get the vaccine. It's an infection of the nerves by a virus named "herpes zoster," related to the virus that causes herpes of the lips and genital herpes. It is the same virus that causes chicken pox in kids. If you had chicken pox, you have herpes zoster living in your nerves. If your immune system becomes compromised, herpes zoster comes out and bites you on the ass (well, on the neck and shoulder in my case).

It hurts like nothing you've ever felt because it's neuropathic (caused by the infected nerves) pain, rather than pain caused by trauma, burns, cuts, impact, fractures rheumatism, arthritis, headache heartburn, toothache or tumors.

The pain takes a lot of forms that are unlike anything you've ever felt, so they're mostly indescribable, except that but one of the pains feels like red ants on a bad sunburn. Others are like electric shocks or stabs. At one point, I was taking eight Vicodin a day. Did I mention that you don't want this?

In March, I had 6 nerve blocks, where they stick a needle into the front of your neck to inject a cocktail of anaesthetics into your nerve roots in the seventh cervical vertibra. I don't know if they worked, or if the pain just diminished with time. Anyway, it's better now, but still sucks.

Oh yeah, after the prostate surgery, you have a catheter coming out of your schween for two weeks, and after that you leak pee and have to wear panty liners, like Rosie O'Donnell. Also, the only reliable way to get a boner is to inject about 2 cc. of drugs into the side of your Johnson.

Tough year. Email me.

Glad you found our blog. We would recommend TO Fuller State Park highly. We had no issues there.

It is a short drive to into Memphis and to the Rendezvous Restaurant, which you should try to visit if you haven't been there. They have incredible dry-rubbed ribs.

If you get a chance, go wander down Beale Street and check out some shops and catch a band playing in the park

TO Fuller is also near Elvis Presley Boulevard, so you check out Graceland and try some fried pickles at the Rock n’ Roll Café across the street.

We had a good time staying at T.O. Fuller and will stay there again if we are in the area.

Have Fun

Bill, Debra and Scupper
