miss u and come and tell us all about your trip to Brooklyn when u get back. Love terry

Hey Terry it gets funnier-We have reservations for that Hotel for our stay and reservations for the restaurant you ate in our first night there. If it is not raining or too hot & sticky we will walk to my wide's Mother on 13th Street! Old Goat Warren

MY BROTHER IN LAW KNOWS I THINK THE OWNER I WILL GET HIS NAME FOR U. THE FOOD WAS SO DELICIOUS. SMALL PORTIONS LIKE MANHATTAN BUT SO GOOD. ENJOY!!!! .IMAGINE US EATING WHERE NO ONE WANTED TO EVEN WALK TO OR HANG OUT YEARS AGO LIKE IN THE 70'S. WOW HAS IT CHANGED

I want you all to know I appreciate all the get well prayers & thoughts you have said for me & a special thank you to Terry for the lovely warm card & note you sent me.
As you all know I have had a long and intense surgery on my foot I almost lost my leg but so far there is still a chance for me to walk again.
My surgery took 8 hours on June 5th since I was released from the Hospital for Special Surgery I have been in a rehab center in Sheepshead Bay receiving intensive rehab, I am wheel chair bound & my leg & foort is in a steel brace called an external fixator which has to stay on until mid September.
I am very self consious of the apperance so I where a cover most of the time only my Wife & Daughter has seen what it looks like.
I very seldom use the iternet ay more I just lost interest for now but I had to stop by and say Hi to all you good people.
all my love
Fred

Hi Fred, you dont know how happy we are to hear from You and Warren today. Just remember we are all pulling for you ..... and I respect what your feeling....that your not up to seeing anyone yet! Take as much time as you need to re-cover and maybe one day we can all meet.
When you feel like giving up .... I hope you feel the kick in the butt to keep going! We All Love you and get well quick!

P.S. when I was going under for my kidney stone blasting .... you were giving me strength....I said if you can go for the kidney transplant ....I can do this! So, I thank you!

Warren, again Thanks for showing up today!
