Right shoulder is on the mend after my sawbones sawed off the last 1

problem with arthritis on the left shoulder, so he's gonna slice and
dice me on 19 Dec. Given the amount of Vicodin I have (and will)
ingest, this winter will just be a happy blur. Hearing is
deteriorating so hearing tests are scheduled for next week, probably a
hearing aid in my future. (brother Tom and my son already have
hearing aids)

Hope you're back to your spry self soon. And next time we need someone
to drop down a well pipe to rescue Timmy, we'll call you ;-)

Btw, in case you weren't making light of it, but I seem to recall long
term Vicodin use is associated with hearing loss. Was that the Rush
thing, maybe?

...is it spring yet?

Certainly - somewhere...

....I believe that was Oxycontin that Rush was ingesting. My hearing
problem started quite some time ago, aided and abetted by jet engine
noise I'm sure.
