Hey, folks. In bed with two computers going trying to meet my deadline...proofs going to Atlanta, Italy, California.

Calling in sick. Only the third time in 63 years (the last three days).

Problem now it pneumonia. Woke up with it the day after the hospital fiasco. Probably caught it in the emergency room (duh! sick people go there) as a result of immune system compromization from steroids.

My Dr. and lawyer are outraged and want my to sue. Not really interested in that, but am considering asking for a review by some regulators.

Believe me, none of you ever want to deal with a full-blown case of gout.


OUCH!

Thanks for the good thoughts.
