thanks to all...



My heartfelt thanks to all well wishing posters, e-mailers and callers. Your love and support does mean a lot to me. It's great to have that feeling of support from family and friends.

So what's new? Not too much. I should have a cat-scan this week sometime. I've lost about 9 pounds during this ordeal, mostly due to stress and discomfort. Cheree is already babying me. She mowed the lawn yesterday (normally my thing) and doesn't think I'm supposed to be lifting heavy things. I told her to use me while she's got me now and save up her strength for when she really needs it. Chili's been a trooper. (Seen here in his quiet and innocent baby days) He thinks I'm in plenty good shape to wrestle, go on walks and constantly attend to his every need (Right now he's whining to go outside even though he just got a nice long walk at 8:00 - he still doesn't understand the whole "home office" concept).
Sleeping has become difficult lately. Last night I was up until about 2:00 with a million things racing through my mind. Lucky for me, reading has always made me tired, so after reading a couple chapters in a book about the ancient Greek Olympics I was on my way out.
The whole Elliott clan will be making trips down here, in stages. It looks like Dr. Kate will be here first, and then Pops and finally Mom to help when Cheree goes back to work after taking a week off.
That's it for now...back to work. Thanks for checking in!

Sorry to hear about your situation... no one should have to read a book about the Greek Olympics. Let me summarize it for you. The Greeks competed naked, only men were allowed to compete, and they included such fun competitions like poetry. Nuff said.

What ever you or Cherree need, you let your ol buddy know. If you need some video games to help pass the time let me know. I am guessing the Wii maybe a little to strenuous, but i do have a Cube, Xbox, gameboy, DS, and a mountain of games your welcome too play while your hanging at home.

I like to have an excuse to visit San Diego... I don't like it to be that my little brother needs to get kicked in the back of the head by a mule (or a very highly trained neurosurgeon). Paul, your sense of humor and resiliency are amazing and are exactly what you need to pull you through this. I vote that from now on when you mention cat scan you put in a picture of Frecious instead of writing the word "cat".

I second that Kate...pictures of Frecious instead of the word Cat. Especially that one of Frecious on the past Elliott's X-mas card!
The Chen's will be arriving on May 4th to stare at you as you recover.
