I'm sorry about your brother - what a scary thing to wake up to -- the paralysis.

Yes, it is, I would think. He has always been so healthy. He has forty acres to take care of, running a few cattle and a mushroom farm.

He is a die hard liberal union man, having taken early retirement from a tobacco company in Louisville that he had worked for since he was eighteen years old.

I know he is in good spirits because he told me today that he was reading a Christmas present book....Al Franken's "Rush is a Big Fat Idiot". LOL
