As I told you I had the tumor removed from my left vocal cord BUT this why I will not do anything more.

In November 2009 I had a complete aorta by pass, they had trouble to get me to breath on my own & spent 7 days in ICU sleeping I guess LOL. I was told by that surgeon the majority who had the same surgery live 3 to 5 years. I was great full it saved my legs from being amputated for now & when I had that surgery I told that surgeon to never amputate either of my legs & let me go. I can walk fine now.

In 1989 I went out after work to have a nice supper. I had first parked my car at home. Walking back home I was mugged & ended up in the hospital for 3 months. I was hurt so bad they did not expect me to live & removed 1/3 of the mussel from the back of my neck, a lot of mussel from my left hip & some from my left arm. Since then I wake up in pain 10-15 times during the night as I refuse to be on pain killers, 1 year on morphine was enough for me. Maybe because I dislike drug addicts so much. I have not been able work since that mugging.

I seldom tell anyone about my medical problems as I never want pity. Many war veterans are worse off than me. Well I am getting very tired now at 64 years old (not tired of living I want to live forever) tired of being sick & in pain for over 20 years. NO I am not giving up but I can accept going to a peaceful place. All I wish for now is to enjoy my last months or years with no more surgeries. I have a few friends I want to enjoy my time with who visit me at the senior place I live, no family to speak of. I was never married so no kids. My mother died of breast cancer 68 lbs, she died holding my hand in 1994. I have never shared like this before but it's only the internet. I wish all of you have a long & happy life. Bob
