Hello everybody!  Just an update from Mary's note below.  She is
doing very well, walking fine & pestering me just about as much
as usual.  Seems to be getting better every day, for which we are
truly thankful.  This has been quite an experience!  -- Larry

January 13, 2001    What a Way to Start the New Year!


Hi!

     Well, it has been a little over two weeks since my
"lobotomy" and I am finally starting to get rid of my tiredness. 
The operation (to remove a benign brain tumor) left me without
complete sensation in my right foot and leg.  Yes, I can move my
toes and leg easily and can walk, which is a blessing.  (Haven't
tried dancing a jig yet!)  Everything else is working fine.  My
hair is growing back rapidly and I am sure by spring I will be
able to go out without some kind of covering.

     I know I have been lax in thanking all my family and friends
for their prayers and support.  This whole things has been quite
a shock!  I am not happy about the loss of sensation in my right
leg, but the doctor says it could come back   or not.  Time will
tell.  Continue your prayers for a little longer would you.

     Thanks again for thinking of me!

                         Love, 

                         Mary
