Bruce-

Congrats on completion! I noted you implied your neck was toast. Go to the drug store and get Domeboro Soak. For a mere $3 you will have lovely, uncharred skin. Ed's was horrible! Weeping and oozing and flaking and fire red. Poor guy just laid there crying/sobbing at the pain. Mix one packet with water, grab an old cotton cloth and lay it over the affected area. No joke - it was a miracle and the doctors/nurses STILL call our home asking Ed what he used to get his skin so soft and back to normal so quickly.

Here's hoping you recover quickly! I'm amazed that with all they threw at you - you are so upbeat. Kudos and lots of prayers!
