Bob,

Been wondering how things have been going for you with your arm and all. So, give us an update. Gonna be ready to play short-stop for the Ellis Island softball team any time soon?

>Tuesday I went down to Boston to have my right forearm cut.The latest procedure was a radial tunnel release.It involved an incision about 1/3 of the way around my arm just below my elbow,hurts like hell if I wait too long between meds.

Don`t know what the long term results will be but right now the arm`s about half again it`s normal size and I get to wear a sling for awhile.

May be one more trip to Boston in my future but I don`t want to think about that right now.

Hope this makes at least alittle sense as it`s late in the day and I`ve taken the sleep meds.

Thanks for askin` Todder.I`ll let you know how this one shakes out long term.
