Whatever it takes! My lungs are shot due to asbestosis, for which there is no cure, and my back is shot and three surgeons told me that surgery is not an option because I will end up paralyzed from the waist down - been there done that and don't wish to endure it again. If there was some miraculous cure that would restore my lungs, I would sell everything I own to make it happen. As for the back I live with constant pain, and now I think I will use Jim Beam Honey Bourbon as a medical write-off in my tax return, along with the morphine.

That said, tomorrow I'm going sailing, I'll eat mild, sweet Italian sausage for lunch cooked on the boat's gas grill and saute some sweet onions and red and yellow bell peppers to go with it. You only live once - Hmmm! I think there's a James Bond song there somewhere.

Good luck with the surgery,

Gary
