I have not had a cigarette in 10 days, nor wanted one. Rebecca quit on

Small prayers are appreciated that I do not cough very much in the next

Just remember to hug that pillow when you need to cough/sneeze.  

Good luck on your recovery.

It's

Real mainframer.

I know JR will appreciate hearing the good news.  I keep her abreast of the
health and goings on of forum members and she has not liked the news

Barring any sudden changes, Bob will be discharged from hospital on
Wednesday morning, 3/12/08. The MD types are very impressed with his
recovery. Becca is preparing the domicile with only healthy foods and
destroying all tobacco products in preparation for this. Bob will be stuck
at home for an extended recovery period, but everything looks very

good.

I will continue to forward messages that come to me, but you can send
messages directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I'm sure he'll be watching
IBM-MAIN. Becca sends her heartfelt thanks to all who have extended best
wishes already. She never realized just how many friends Bob had, and
neither did I. And having worked closely with Bob,  I'm also pleased to know
that he is so highly regarded in our little community.

Small prayers are appreciated that I do not cough very much in the next
few weeks. Even an ahem seems to exceed my pain threshold these days.
An actual cough is brutally painful! :-(


I'm sending big prayers for your strength in combatting the smoking
urge. From 
my experience, the toughest part is about a month out. Hang in there.
It's 
worth it. I'm also praying you're spared the urge to sneeze for the
foreseeable 
future. I broke some ribs once. Coughs hurt, but a sneeze will push you
to the 
threshhold of passing out. It's good to read you're in good spirits and 
recovering well.

Many thanks for the well wishes, prayers, kind words, etc. sent to Rick
and to Rebecca. I am in great spirits and very thankful for my mortal
existence these days.

I have not had a cigarette in 10 days, nor wanted one. Rebecca quit on
Monday and we are both working very hard with my physical recovery.

you one!

Barring any sudden changes, Bob will be discharged from hospital on 
Wednesday morning, 3/12/08. The MD types are very impressed with his 
recovery. Becca is preparing the domicile with only healthy foods and 
destroying all tobacco products in preparation for this. Bob will be 
stuck at home for an extended recovery period, but everything looks very


good.

I will continue to forward messages that come to me, but you can send 
messages directly at [EMAIL PROTECTED], and I'm sure he'll be 
watching IBM-MAIN. Becca sends her heartfelt thanks to all who have 
extended best wishes already. She never realized just how many friends 
Bob had, and neither did I. And having worked closely with Bob,  I'm 
also pleased to know that he is so highly regarded in our little

community.

Re: Bob Richards Update

2008-03-12 Thread Kelman, Tom
That's great news about Bob.  I worked with Bob and have known him from
CMG, but I've never met Becca.  She sounds like someone who'll lay down
the law to him now about healthy eating and not smoking.  I know he'll
be feeling better than ever once this is all over.
