Well, my friends, tomorrow is the big day, when I get to have my right shoulder repaired {hopefully} and since I cannot type with one hand this little missive will be the last I am heard from for at least 3 plus weeks.

The Dr. Said my recovery will take twelve weeks and while I think he is wrong about the length of time I am willing to at least give that some thought. I am still terrified about being rendered unconscious, I keep thinking I just will not wake up, and even though it might seem like an unreasonable fear, none the less, it is still here inside of me.

Again I ask for kind thoughts, prayers or any other thing you might want to do to help calm me about this, I have to be at the hospital at 7:45 A.M. and my surgery is scheduled for 9:45 A.M.

While I am on hiatus, may all good things happen to all of you good people. Adventuredude is getting married on the 15th of this month so good thoughts for him and his soon to be lovely wife. Keep a good thought for Sabrina {littlewhip} just because I asked ok? Keep Adrian safe while he is still in country doing his duty.

My nephew Christopher is now officially a DESERTER! Boy is he in trouble! Keep him in your thoughts too please.

Pray for Colleen, my lovely wife as she has to be the one that takes care of me, lend her some of your excess strength please!

Be kind to one another.

With love to all,

Elie, aka your Moderateman.
