   Hej Carol!   
      
   > Lol!  Missed you Maurice!   
      
   I've been here all along but quieter than is normal for me.   
      
   > I've been struggling with visual issues.  Cataracts so pretty normal.   
      
   I've also been dealing with health issues myself over the last year.  I find   
   out Wednesday when I will be booked for surgery.  Apparently the latest scans   
   have shown an issue with my gall bladder although I think that is the least of   
   my worries.  Anyhow the surgeon thinks it should be removed.  :-(   
      
   I believe once they start removing parts it becomes a slippery slope   
   afterwards, but all things considered I probably should have packed it in at   
   least a year ago when I started to need blood transfusions on roughly a   
   monthly basis.  To be honest back then I didn't think I'd make it this far.    
   Whenever someone in-the-know asks how I've managed to survive I always say,   
   "Strong like bull, smart like tractor."  :-)   
      
   The last blood transfusion was almost two months ago, and since then my blood   
   level has increased with each blood test so I am optimistic about my immediate   
   future.   
      
   > Come August, I should be able to read the BBS better.  As it is, it's   
   > been an increasing trial for the past 18 months.   
      
   Wishing you all the best, which I sincerely believe we both deserve.  I hope   
   to still be here to hear your good news.  I have no plans on quitting.   
      
   Het leven is goed,   
   Maurice
