Dear Dietrich

[TheTman]

Never give up my friend.

I miss you Diet. Take care of yourself and get better.

I'm so sorry to hear of this news. There is always hope though! My extended family has two folks currently going through Chemo-therapy, both showing very good results. There is always hope when you trust in God. My prayers are with you and your family.

Glad to see Dietrich online on Karhtalk for a little while today.

I just received a status report from Dietrich. The sun's peeking through a little bit and I like it a lot.

In it's entirety.

"Got my first transfusion yesterday. Two units took four hours which surprised me but my cousin who is a surgery nurse says its much quicker in the OR.Feel good today and I think the chemo may be doing some good.Hope you and the guys are doing well.D"

Ahh, this is answered prayer and great news! It's too long a road to travel alone, so that's why God and the rest of us will be with you, Dietrich!

Banana? Ok Mister your in the same seat at the adults table at Christmas now too. Your a slow learner ain't ya? More yams to auntie's house, be enough gas to fly the Hindenburg.

[MikeyKahr]

Aren't you supposed to be working on some Glocks to make money for my Christmas gift this year or something? You know that mk9 you promised me? And yes you can borrow it for a while to make all the grips you want. Mrs. MikeyKahr will take Buckeye Burl.

By the way you should be flattered I called you uncle Banana. I could have called you uncle Cheeto. Or uncle Cheerio like when you get out of the pool.

Well great news to share following nephews inuendo's and slanderish attack on his favorite uncle.
I hereby present in it's entirety an email just received from Dietrich hisself.
I'm happy as a pig in mud to read it and know you all will be too. Hope this continues.

"Second chemo treatment yesterday.No negegative results yet.Doc says I will be needing another blood transfusion before the third.Probably next week or by sure the following.You wouldn`t believe how how much better they make me feel.I`m actually able to have the energy to do little things around the house and for myself for a change including driving myself to the store and places.Had to take Helen to prove my competency both to her and to myself.I had taken myself off the road because I didn`t trust myself anymore but my strength or concentration level have risen back to a level I trust for driving myself to the doc and around Morehead City if need be.Not on Interstates and long trips.Next week my I plan to go to the range for the first time with my brother-in law since this mess all got started.Be interesting to see if I can hit a bull in the ass with a bass fiddle.I`ll let you know.I miss you guys.Take care.Dietrich."


And there you have it. I'll keep everyone in the loop pronto when I receive status reports. I really look forward to em myself.

[mr surveyor]

now that is good news

[wyntrout]

Thanks for passing that along, 'nanner. And Dietrich, good luck at the range. That will make you feel better! Blowing things up or filling them with holes makes me feel good... that front pants rising thingy.
Take care and get well... hang in there for a few more decades or so.
