hey there jennie and all... say, i will be keeping him in more prayers, too..
say, i had wondered, but then, i also know that recouperation can take a lot out of one, and it is hard to sit for so long... so i did not realize that something could have been wrong...
sorry to have no checked it out... say, this is a nice group of campfire climbing-folks, and none should slip through notice...
god bless you dirtineye, get well again, soon as you can...

I called his mom a few minutes ago and have this: the doctors couldn't perform the intended surgery because they could not get a tube properly positioned due to the rerouting of organs in previous surgeries. Instead they did a radiological procedure which his mother feels will be better in the long run. He will be home tonight but is very loopy (they've got him on the really good shit). She reports he is jaundiced and emotionally very low. (Hey - nowhere to go but up.) I told her that I would wait a day or do before calling to let him get his wits about him again. When I hear something I'll let you know

Thank you RRK. Sounds as if they have his pain moderated or shut down completely.

Best wishes to the dirtster!
"You don't go around injecting potentially lethal doses of drugs into patients who will otherwise recover from their injuries or illness - regardless of the fact that they are in pain. Doing so is called incompetence and you will loose your license although probably - under those circumstances - you would not go to jail."
Doing as described is more likely to be called murder, or at least manslaughter.

PLEASE, DIRT, HANG IN THERE, AND LET'S FIGURE OUT SOME WAY TO GET TOGETHER WHEN YOU'RE FEELING BETTER. I'D LIKE TO BE SERANADED BY YOUR GUITAR AT LEAST ONE TIME.
AND OAKIE...SO SORRY TO HEAR ABOUT YOUR DAD PASSING. I KNOW HOW TOUGH IT IS.

I talked to him this weekend he was back in the hospital and had experienced some setbacks. Apparently the tumors have spread to the liver but he really didn't know more than that at the time and I haven't heard since. He was due home Monday and I've been waiting to let things settle down before giving a call. I may give him a ring later today or else call his mom for beta. He mentioned wanting to record as soon as he gets some strength so I'll likely drive over next week, prop him up in a chair and work his equipment for him. You really need to hear his music - it's astonishing. That might be a good time to load him up in something that rolls and check out the Botanical Gardens or something like that. As we all know there's nothing like the sun on your face to make you feel like living. More beta when I hear something

just talked to his mom and the news is not inspiring. He is definietly at the crux of his journey. Aggressive tumors are in the liver and hospice is with him now (he's asleep). According to his mom he is feeling good, eating well, walking in the yard, etc but very tired. His mom said that he's not ready "to go" yet and may take another run at it with more aggressive therapy. She said he was talking about playing his guitar so I'll definitely drive over and make him put down some tracks next week. He gets his mail at home: 1784 Shades Crest Rd., Birmingham, Al. 35216. I'll get more beta next week

Thanks, RRK. I'm very sorry to hear the news. Do you know if Curt is on-line at all? Or perhaps a family member, who could pass messages on?
