    as we've been away, I haven't checked in here for a long while, so first, I'd like to extend sincere condolences to Oroboros and ++++++++ vibes to everyone else and to all. gotta do a u-turn. just when i thought we was on the way back, a 'family' member of ours needs help so that is what is the priority now. please send positive vibes for a wonderful lady we love and cherish, kidney failure creeping in on the one kidney she has that still works a bit. diabetis and a big stone complicate things, not to mention the fact she lost most of her insides to cancer 15 years ago. tough woman in spirit and the KINDEST person you might ever meet. she beat the cancer, has 2 colostomy bags as a result, one for pee and one for poop... the poop is backing up in poisen, creatinine levels way too high; lcuky foor her, my old lady is a quick study on nutrition and how to cook an extremely complicated diet to reduce her protein levels and whatever other stuff that I don't rightly understand. She was in hospital for a few weeks, home now with people who love her and more HELP is ON THE WAY. she is the one who taught my old lady her own philosophy of life and I am still learning them lessons myself: 'go with the flow of the river, just keep your head above water' she needs our help more than we need the tour, so thatis where it's at right now. what another month may bring? hopefully better health and more strength. her heart isn't strong enough to start dialysis now. dialysis will be on the agenda as time goes by. +++++++++ vibes for all!! love and peace. cc

    peace/love Michael I like many people know how the death of a pet is as real as any death of someone you love and are close too. I remember summer tour of '93 my pomeranian "Miss muffit" the little grateful dead bear died with me on tour. I remember having her remains cremated, and smuggling her ashes into the Buffalo, NY show just as I made it into the show, the band was doing the refrain: "Ashes to Ashes,all fall down!!!!! and right then and there I scattered the ashes, I always treasure this act, man how I would love to go out like that!!!!

this from Gans hisself: "Hey all - thanks for the kind thoughts! I am in a hospital in Carson City, Nevada. It turned out not to be pericarditis, but a "mild to moderate" heart attack. Last night I had an angioplasty and I now have three stents in my heart. Had a long meeting with the cardiologist this morning. He expects I will make a more or less complete recovery. I woke up yesterday morning in Lee Vining CA, in a motel overlooking Mono Lake. My plan was to drive out into the Basin & Range to visit Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park, but I felt kinda weird after breakfast and so I sat in my hotel room until checkout time, hoping the bellyache would pass. Still feeling pretty rocky, I decided to head for the nearest city rather than go ahead with my middle-of-nowhere plan. When I hit Carson City two hours later, I was not feeling much better so I went on into the ER. " more healing vibes and ++++ vibes for all! love&peace.

Thanks to all of you for your kind thoughts. We spoke at length with the cardiologist today, and he is confident that my recovery will be pretty close to 100%. I have been (for the most part) doing the right things, lifestyle-wise, for several years, but my genetic predisposition to heart disease means I have to start taking some meds. I had to cancel a few gigs, but I will be on my feet and ready to rock with the Reptiles at the Starry Plough in Berkeley on September 4 - extra poignant for me, since it is a memorial for our longtime partner Al Feldstein, who died of a heart attack on June 21.

Candy is sedated and on a ventilator which sounds worse than it is. This allows her body to rest and the machine actually forces more oxygen and medicine into her lungs. Her temperature is normal and the bacteria count is dropping . It will be a long journey however I feel more hopeful than yesterday. In speaking with the ER and ICU nurses this is the beginning of a Tidal wave of Flu to Pneumonia cases. By midnite they had admitted 5 other patients all under 55 with the same problem, Get your swine flu shots and stay on top of anyone feeling sick and not wanting to go to the doctor. Thanks to all our extended family! Love Bob and Candy And the road goes on forever.... BobbaLee

Well today we all including the wonderful staff were smiling a little-her oxygen level continues to rise and her temp. dropped a little more.It is strange how the terrible becomes routine-When I walk into the ICU unit I look at the monitors to see what her oxygen/blood, breathing and blood pressure rates are. As I suit up and put on my gloves and mask I ask the attending nurse how the latest X ray was and the PEEP level of the respirator. A week ago I knew nothing of these terms or what the numbers meant. Now I ask as casually as I would if I asking for cream in a cup of coffee. It is surreal. I am looking at ( this a wild guess) thousands of dollars of trained professionals per hour in the ICU, millions of dollars worth of equipment and medicines. In one ICU in a hospital that 4.

I just read my post of Oct 5 and today it seems so long ago. By the 7th Candy's situation was getting worse the H1N1 was still showing up in tests her white cell count was low and her oxygenination level was slowly dropping. The Doctors told me to to be prepared for the worse and call the kids home. That afternoon the doctor in the ICU in charge of infectous diseases asked a friend at the CDC and The FDA to release an experimental anti-viral drug. It stops the virus from reproducing. They flew it down by courier from Atlanta and that afternoon they started administering it. Now it was literally a matter of keeping her alive long enough to allow her body to kill the H1N1 off. Sunday and Monday were tough I sat by her through much of the day holding her hand. Monday afternoon her oxygen level began to pick upBy Tuesday morning her temp had dropped her oxygen level increased even more. Tuesday afternoon the doctors and staff thought her lungs were sounding better. The medicine had worked. Each day has shown an improvement. She is not out of the woods yet but I think We are real close to saying she has beaten the H1N1 and the pneumonia. Thanks all for all of your love and thoughts.
