Wow, you guys are suffering with clots, and I'm suffering from bleedouts. Last Sunday night a blood vessel in my right foot ruptured during the middle of the night, and now I can barely walk because of a golf-ball size hematoma on the bottom of my foot. It's slowly resolving, but very painful and I had to cancel all of this week's jobs because of it. Nothing much I can do other than keep it wrapped with an ace bandage and ice it down for several hours a day. Yesterday morning, I sneezed and blood gushed out my nose like a spigot. It took an hour to get the bleeding to stop. Talked with the doc and he said to stop taking aspirin for a week. I did that beginning last Sunday, but it takes a week for the effects to wear off. (keeping my fingers crossed.) Gettin old ain't fer wimps and sissies, Gary

Donny, I wish the healing process were a lot faster, but this is not the case with older individuals - and, lets face it - WE'RE OLD! Hell, I haven't shaved for a week and my beard is snow white - if I let it grow more, maybe I could get a job as Santa Claus this winter. The worst part about not playing for more than 2 weeks is, I'm beginning to enjoy not lugging the gear in and out of venues every day of the week. But, I sure miss that income it generates. And, because of the nature of our business, unless we pay high premiums for disability insurance, we cannot write off the lost jobs on our income tax returns. So, all that money is just gone. Keep your fingers crossed for a quick recovery, Gary
