[amsat-bb] Bob WB4APR off line till march (amsat)

[Robert Bruninga]

Warning - TMI (too much info! ...but as an engineer who sees things in
numbers...)

Turns out I went from 200 lbs down to 160 in 4 months as tumor grew and was
finally removed 0.1" larger than a basketball! They still cannot identify
it!

In recovery.  Lesson is push Dr's for reports and scheduling.    One week
delay between each of 22  Dr procedures adds up over 4 months, and 3
surgeon team over 8 hours.  And 8 days in hospital... I cannot imagine the
cost! So glad to have insurance.

No emails please.  It is 8th day in hospital and 1st time to to look at
computer and 8 day backlog. Things are looking uup!

Bob, WB4APR
