Well, sometimes the old man confuses things. The tinnutis is likely from gun fire, and riding in a noisy truck for long periods. We did have tons of mortar fire, but never close enough for that. The rash hasnt been diagnosed. I believe it is from daily benzine exposure, as that was primarily what we hauled. What dad was talking about on my face has actually been on my face, hand, shoulder, arm, and about six different spots on my leg. It has left scars in each spot, and even ruined my Vegas vacation when my eye swelled shut. They are painful when they get going. The VA believes it is leishmaniasis from sand fly bites, but they havent been successful in getting a good biopsy. I have some severe joint pain in my right wrist that the VA cant quite get a grip on. Other than that I see a counsler once a month at the VA to talk about some recurring dreams I have. I dont like her, but she is the stepping stone to seeing a doctor. Sorry I havent been FReeping lately. I am back to work, and work is good. I really love what I do and now realize how much I missed it. How'd ya like my pic in the paper. It was a lot of fun raiding the school and all. Crystal is good, but she is going through her usual post hockey season depression. We didnt make the playoffs, but I still enjoyed the season. I have something for you when I get it finished. Slow going here, I have a years worth of yard work to catch up on. I will need a favor from bruce though, so look for a FReepmail. Pass this on to anyone I may have missed. Talk to ya soon.
