Edward writes: Iguess this will be a last posting for a bit....just not up to typing much, plus, it's so hard and slow to do now. I must admit, I am a bionic & $6million dollar man. After 6 knee ops, one on each shoulder, and 2 on myback which is now full of steel, this is just another one to add to the list. Pain meds are helping some, but stilll hurt like hell. Elbow joint was cleaned out where it was compressing nerves, lot of calcium removed, and a muscle reattached that had come loos due to all this mess. I should get my full cast on the 15th and will be in the full arm cast for about 4 months. Ugh! I'm just trying to take it as easy as possible now. guess I'll go watch Gods and generals &Gettysburg on dvd again. The boredom is killing me. Would rather be online helping others with questions about the war or helping someone find an ancestor from NC and getting them the detailed info on them. Iwon't be posting any for a bit as I'm finding it way to hard and painful to type. See y'all soon and keep up all the good work. Edward (easy to spell my name....all letters are lefthanded ones on the keyboard lol) Sorry Sharon, meant this to go to the list,,,,not directly to you....but not able now to redo it. if you'd like to forward to the list, feelfree to do so.
