Unfortunately, I had to go into the ER last Friday night at 2am. I had a really bad flew for the last 2 days and it got to the point where I had to go in. Apparently, I my liver was severely inflamed due to really high levels of acetaminophen. After they did the catscan, they figured it out. I had to be monitiored and held in the hospital for the whole week. It was really scary because I didn't know if I was going to need a liver transplant or not. Believe it or not, it was not due to anything other than Tylenol at high levels. Luckily, it subsided and I have to be really careful with everything from now on. Due to the Open Heart Surgery last year I already had a week heart. But according to the doctors I now have a really week muscle as well. Even though I had two valves replaced, please say I don't need a defibrillator to put a damper on all this. I will find out next month. Which is when I will be going to see the boys play. So needless to say, I'm kind of bummed right now about the health, dude I'm only 33, but I do know that at least I have a community of people that will send me shining beams of lovin this way! It makes me smile to know that! _____________________________________________ Will you come with me? Once in awhile you can get shown the light in the strangest of places if you look at it right!

Thoughts of love, strength, and hope for all I see as I read over the many pages here. The spirit of those both in need of the lift of love and those who lay it upon them is the purest essence of compassion. The absolute beauty of humanity. love and hope to you all. peace,pk

glad things have taken a good turn!

more ++++++ vibes for everyone, and for the Capt. of the ship, true bravery and courage there. ********************: selfless acts reap karmic rewards. I'd like to thank the folks here for remeinding me about true deadheadism and love and life values. the calvary is coming and the crew came through! our loved one, who we cherish and hold ever so dear in our hearts is doing better in her times of renal failure, her creatinine (sic) levels have actually gone down a bit in the past few weeks, owing to my old lady's ability to whip up low protein, high calorie foods in a very unusual restricted diet. apparently, the lowering of such levels when you only got some use of only one kidney, (her other one went a long time ago, and the limping kidney she has partial use of hass a big stone, ) is very unusual. Well, she is a most special woman, having given life and re-birth to my old lady and me, as well as other family we love. She laughed her cancer away 15 years ago, (well, that and major surgery) and now she is laughing (quite literally) her kidney trouble back into the corner. No easy feat at her ripe age of 78. HAPPILY! More help is on the way and we'll get a few weeks off to head back to our beloved time and space in the musical circus of the tour. just when I was losing all hope of heading east, the sunshine daydream Gods shined on HER, and, the healing kidney beams arrived and have staved off the need for dialysis in the time being. More +++++++++++++ vibes to all! keep 'em bouncing back and forth!! love and peace, cc

UNDERHILL — The wife of Richard Phillips, the cargo-ship captain taken hostage Wednesday by pirates in the Indian Ocean off the coast of Somalia, says she is waiting anxiously for word her seafaring husband is safe and sound. “Whatever positive energy that’s out there for him, I’m going to take it,” Andrea Phillips said as she stood in the living room of her home Wednesday afternoon. “I’m keeping my fingers crossed and looking forward to hearing his voice on the phone.” http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/article/20090408/NEWS03/90408014

You are in our thoughts and prayers...
