Re: Neal - Update

NEAL! WT heck???

PLEASE be compliant!!!

(And I'm sorry but I'm thinking-- WOW! Treating ourselves with multiple

I had a mild heart attack last June and followed almost the same treatment
pattern you described (only I didn't have ntg at that time-- do now). )

TAKE CARE OF YOURSELF DUDE!!!

Note to Martha: NO MORE WILD MONKEY SEX UNTIL OUR NEAL IS HEALTHY!!!!
(Well, no more with Neal... )
