Was just released from the hospital after an 8-day stay in the ICU, which was a few inches away from fatal.  No need for sympathy :- ) but I wanted you to know there is a very good reason I’m contacting you so late.  You are my third outside contact after release from the ICU yesterday.

Most are aware that some years ago I was diagnosed with Stage IV and given five months.  Here we are 4 years and 7 months later, up and around.  Turns out it's not the tumors that get you, it's the complications.  We faced this one head-on and vanquished it.

Hopefully in a few days we'll be back and ramped up with a new, slightly different SSI - perhaps a bit shorter posts but hopefully more frequent.  In the meantime many blessings to you.

In the meantime, go Sox.  :- ) Not only did they spare me the sight of Judge and Stanton spraying the bubbly, but a battle of the Titans with Houston looks sumptuous!

Best,

Jeff a/k/a Dr. D
