This is a message our big friend Kensandyeggo posted yesterday at Norm's forum. I will put under "General Discussion" to keep the same place. []s JuciĘ

Just a quick reply. I am here and monitoring and just don't have the time or energy to post for awhile. I've had some personal health problems that I just found out are not as serious as I first thought and worried about for several months.....2 small brain tumors. After some blood tests and an MRI read by several neurosurgeons, they are non-malignant, small and very slow-growing. The prognosis is to come back in a year for another MRI and report any facial tingling or numbness should it occur beforehand. I went in because of a nagging headache.
Demetra's son has progressed into full-blown AIDS and has become afflicted with dementia. Right now he's in a psychiatric floor at UCSD Hospital, and the battle is to keep him there, opposing some psychiatrists who think he can function O.K. on his own....we took him to the ER last week and while waiting to be seen he was urinating on the sidewalk several times, eating out of the trash and once inside, urinated on the floor of the exam room, yet some think that he can function on his own. The battle has absolutely drained me.
On top of it, probably because I was stressed, I was taking off from Ramona about a month ago, trying to beat 2 P-51 Mustangs that were about to do a fly-by. I got myself into a low-speed flap and whacked the top of the rudder with one blade. Luckily it was minor and just needs a new cap on the rudder and the one blade just had a little indentation that didn't even scratch the paint. It nicked my tail-strobe light. I haven't had time to replace the cap and thusly go flying, which was my main means of stress-reduction and mental therapy. No matter what, I always felt better after a flight. Now that's gone for awhile.
Finally, Stefanos' parents have no clue how to raise a kid and never set boundaries for doing homework, so he's developed the habit of stalling around. All of a sudden, they want him to change and are using not letting me see him as a hammer and not letting him attend his soccer practices and games. Hasn't happened yet, but I'm pissed about it....which leads me to my current state of a constant, right-temporal stress headache that just doesn't completely go away. Of course, all this has elevated my blood pressure beyond reasonable rates, so I may have to get on anti-hypertensive meds if I can't get it down.
So Ron, rudeness had nothing to do with it (I forgive you...ha-ha), nor did Todd's Forum popping up. I read his every day also. In fact, I'd appreciate it if someone would copy this and paste it over there for me. Oh yes, school is all time-consuming and we have a test just about every morning. The pace is fast and I'm having a hard time keeping up with all the 20 and 30 year olds who still have all their memory cells intact. I'm doing O.K., but I have to work twice as hard as I did when I was younger. Once school ends at the end of April, things will probably start to normalize for me.
I'm here and taking it all in. I just don't have it in me to do any extensive posting for now. I see others have taken up the battle besides those of "us" who have an "axe to grind" with RAF. Newer participants are seeing the dangers involved with what they are still selling. Take care everyone, and I'm always lurking.
