Ray;  Sounds good, I'll think further on it.  Meanwhile, I'm glad you let=us
in on your disk problem.  It doesn't just cloud one's judgment, --chronic
pain warps one's entire personality--partly because of the effect of
pain-killers over time.  It's tantamount to post-traumatic stress syndrom=e
in some ways.    What's holding up the docs?  Are they waiting for you to=be
paraplegic the way it happened for my wife 40 years ago?  Surgery is less
risky these days.

Truth in this, but even that'=s
more predictable than private  industry.  Your plan to centralize it soun=ds
OK if they do put something into effect.  In any case-- I hope you get yo=ur
surgery sooner rather than later. One of my daughters went through it  la=st
year--all better now.
