I wasn't going to post in this thread.  It was all a bit too close to home.

Who is this Bill Peckham you are trying to marry me off to?  All I see is a dog and an alligator.

Thanks for the sentiments. (and he won't have me.  He thinks I am a closet Republican)

Anyway, I just think this cancer thing is a ploy to get more hits on his website.  www.billpeckham.com




How about we marry Anna off with RichardMel? He is dishy!

After we all visit www.billpeckham.com. We love you Bill!

It worked didn't it.... I mean hits to his website.

Richardmel just told me earlier that he was swearing off women... (or was that Birds).

My thoughts are with you, Bill. I recently went through a period where I felt about as bad as I remember ever feeling, and I know are hard that can be. Hang in there...and I pray that you will start feeling better after surgery and that all goes well.

The surgery is Monday at 3PM. I'm using twitter to update people. You can go to the actual twitter page here https://twitter.com/BillPeckham or there is a twitter feed in the left hand column of my blog http://www.billpeckham.com/ and tweets now update my status on Facebook. A friend will tweet from my phone or I'll give her my log in information for the site for updates during and after the surgery which should be done by 6PM Seattle time.

When I took care of my Mom last year I wrote a Caring Bridge page for her friends to keep up to date about what was happening but I haven't felt like writing a day by day account. And really how many times can you say you're feeling like having a nap? But now that the action is picking up maybe I'll write more ... 140 characters at a time.

  I wish you all the best on Monday and  it's OK to take those "naps"  as long as you want !  You've done so much in keeping other advised with "Dialysis from the sharp end of the needle" and I trust that you will be back soon.
