BTW, perhaps this isn't the thread to discuss it, but I am horrified to hear about Russ's injury and I am sure that everyone here at SZ wishes you well and hopefully a speedy return of sensation. I can only imagine what you are going through, and for it to happen to someone that helps out their community the way you do, that is sad beyond belief.
Please keep us posted about how things progress... do your doctors think that with time and healing, your sensation might return?
I know with your attitude, you probably are giving the little horror that perpetrated this crime the benefit of the doubt, but let me tell you, I for one don't feel anywhere NEAR as charitable towards him...

Best wishes for a speedy recovery.
