    I don't know you Ross. But we are praying for you....And we are not religious! We just know it seems to help. We are from Illinois. Had relatives go to Mayo Clinic and others to Barnes in St Louis. Both have great doctors. 40 years ago I went to Barnes also beause I was told I had a lung disease and would die. Wasn't in the doctor's big fancy office more than 10 minutes when he told me I shouldn't be there, I had nothing wrong. A few days and many tests, proved him right. Down here we have a great teaching hospital, Shands of Gainesville. There are many great hospitals and great doctors. Sadly there are also a lot of crappy ones! Don't over do it. But have fun. Life is too short.:tiphat: I left this world the end of 2010. With great doctors and help from above I'm still here nine months later buggin the hell out of people!

    I've had two good days in a row, am sick and tired of being housebound and bored to tears. Ever watch daytime TV? While catheterized? I don't know which is worse.
    A quick jaunt for a car adventure is just what the doctor ordered. Waiting to hear from Xavier/Keys/Chris.

    Thanks, Cat

    -Heck, I'd take the catheterizing any day if I didn't have to watch those crappy soap oprees!:rofl2: Hope you hear from "X" "Keys". That boy needs our guidance...even if it sometimes is in the wrong direction. :banana:

    I just tried to email you, Ross, but I'm not sure it worked as it seems my email is screwing up. So anyways I will tell you what I said in the email.

    We [my wife and I] are glad to hear that you are not only doing better, but are expecting a full life. :thumbs2: :clap: :2_thumbs_up_-_anima I understand what it is like to have to make adjustments because of what my dad went through.

    As for the wagon, DO NOT PUSH YOURSELF. Only you know how you're feeling and what you can do so if you tell me that you can I will believe you, and would love to know more about this car. But, as I said before, it is just a car and NOT worth risking your health.

    X2.
    X is a good guy and has so far shown patience. I am sure he would love to have a wagon, but he is currently trying to sell his car anyway. We will all keep our eyes out for a wagon for him if this one goes. It seems like the seller is being patient as well. No need to rush a recovery. We are glad to hear things are going well.

    Ross, you are one heck of a guy :thumbs2: glad your feeling like getting up and about. Just remember to diconnect EVERYTHING before you leave. And don't forget your camera :camera:

    I have been battling a cold myself SF. Follow the usual rules for fighting a cold and give yourself 7-10 to be perfect again. I came down with my cold last Sunday.
    On Monday I was to run in the Rick Hansen Relay as it pasted through the area. I was nominated(by the Mayor) to be one of three people to represent our town. I was hoping to push Harley(my grandson) in his stroller. But since I came down with my cold I didn't want to take the chance of making him ill, he's only three months old...not worth it :( very disappointing.
    However I did the run, then a few of us went up to the next community where our entire baseball team was running to the highschool, we wanted to cheer them on. :clap:And we did. After that I went back home and passed out.
    Anyway I'm on day 10 and I'm almost back to right. I don't often get sick but as the others have already said, take good care of yourself...feel better.
    Well that was just a little story to help pass the time...do we know about this car yet...hmmm...?

    Giving any baby of three months old a cold when it is not necessary is not worth it. Giving Harley a cold when he just had open heart surgery two and a half months ago when he was 8 days old is difinately not worth it.
    I was very disappointed. My son and I were trying to figure out a way to get Harley to the park, where I began my run, without bringing him into my house and then back home again with as little contact as possible. But when it came right down to it fulfilling my need to have Harley there was just not worth possibly making him sick.


    Geeze... mess with a mom and her baby can get you into a heap of trouble. But I just realize how defensive a grandmother can also be...:rofl2:

    Hope I didn't scare you...but watch it bucko...

    No go on the rust bucket

    Long story short. It needs much more work than we can put into it. It is sad to see how bad it is. I want to give a special thanks to Ross for helping us out by looking at. And thank you also to SilverFox for your offer as well. Here are some pics that Ross took.

    Thank You
    -X and from my wife, -Z
