Just yesterday I received an itemized statement for my stay at UCSF Medical Center a couple of weeks ago. I also received a statement from the company that took me on a one hour and 10 minute helicopter ride to Roseville where I needed to receive care.

Well, I thought that I was getting a bit healthier. I was wrong. Again. Anyway, I was visiting family last week and about 1:00 a.m. Monday morning something gave way in my esophagus. I'll spare you all the exciting gory details. I was rushed from their home to a local hospital by ambulance, spent about two hours at that hospital and then I was flown to Roseville for further care. I thought that the whole medical helicopter trip would be interesting. I was wrong. Again.

I just wanted to thank everyone who has sent voice messages and e-mails my way. I am still in San Francisco and getting tested for just about every illness under the sun! I hope that all of you are well.

It is close to five in the morning here and I can't seem to sleep. It is Monday Morning and a Holiday, but my family and I will not be enjoying any camping or boating today. Actually, maybe some of you would consider what my parents and I are doing right now to be camping, but I don't. I would much rather have awakened in the woods somewhere in the midst of the scent of pine or redwood.

I have chosen to share this news with Modesto Famous because so many people that read this site have been instrumental in helping me fight my health battle. I received news today that I have cleared a major hurdle in my quest for a new liver and a new life. Today my case was submitted to the board in San Francisco that ultimately decides who will receive a liver transplant and when they will receive it.

Just a note to all that our Editor cares, and got his email on the enter the zip code correctly, map function should work, and corrected the map problem, so you can find Riverdance Pick and Gather. I'll trust its right before I check it.... but I have actually had problems looking up ranchette properties at time, on yahoo, google, other ones, due to some of the map issues in rural areas, but Mojo is correct, he knows his site, enter the zip code, and it should pop up right.

It is Sunday evening at about 11:00 and I have been thinking about what to write in this post all weekend. The first thing that I need to say is thank you to all the people who left emails, voice mails and happy thoughts for me. You never know how many people truly care until you are face down on the canvas and the referee is trying to count you out. I guess I'm just not ready to be counted out just yet, but my back is certainly up against the ropes. I'm a fighter though and I will win my battle. Maybe I need one of those insane Mike Tyson face tattoos!

It was nice to talk to you the other day! I wanted to leave this as a blog because I want people to know how much that you really care about this city and this site. You answered the million questions that I had even though it looked like you were in a hurry and that meant alot to me. To be honest, I have not been very impressed by the people in Modesto. They usually seem rushed and rude to me. I know that not everyone in town is like that and you showed me that I really should give this place a decent chance.
