I'm back (almost)

[Rich S]

After three months of being told I had metastatic cancer; 16 biopsies

and major surgery - it was all benign. Still have one more surgery

to go thru on Friday, then hopefully when I recover from that, I'll

be back in shape (for the shape I'm in :-)

 

Thanks all for your good wishes. Hope to be rejoining the

discussions soon.

Congratulations. What great news, I know you are relieved. That kind of stress must be overwhelming. Best of luck on your recovery, and please keep us updated. I know people say all the time that no one cares, but that is not true, I care. God Bless.

Good to hear -- just yesterday I was thinking about writing and asking if anyone had heard anything about how you were and -- here you are! I like ESP!

 

Get back on board ASAP! :D

Thanks guys. Good to be "almost" back :-)

Still best to contact me via the board's

private message system. Hopefully I'll

be able to check it periodically soon.

I haven't re-set my Yahoo mail yet.

 

I've missed talking and playing

with swords and tsuba :-)

Hi Rich,

 

best wishes for a quick recovery from Germany too.

Cancer in my opinion is one of the most "unnecessary" things we have to deal with (not to forget Hagire of course :D )

 

Keep your tail up!

[Brian]

Rich,

 

That is the best news I have heard in ages.

I have had many emails asking if I had heard anything. You have lots of friends and fans out there

Take it easy, get some well deserved rest, and keep us updated.

All the best to you.

Rich,

 

back from France (and don't listen to Brian's lies, the best news he's got this week-end is South Africa rugby team being in Final of the world Champion's Cup :lol: :lol: )

[IanB]

Welcome back to the real world. Last year I went through a positive diagnosis and subsequent treatment (with a happy outcome) so I know what you have been through. :D

Rich,

 

Glad to have you back. We lost Uchiko Jim this decade. No one else is allowed to leave the building any time soon.

 

Stay healthy and warm.
