A note from Pat Townson of Telecom Digest
John Levine
for many years until three months ago when major hell started coming
down on my shoulders as a result of an aneurism or stroke I suffered
at the end of November last year.
I won't bother to explain it all here. This message you are reading
now was started AT 8 00 am this morning and it is now 6:45 pm with two
paragraphs done.
Let me get this out of my system now. I am going to quit the digest
and my other endeavors on the net for now. I cannot do this work
spending 12 hours per day proof reading messages.
Plus, my mother has started bitching once again, for the third time
today with her prayer of St. Francis which she feels should be good
enough for me as well as her. Because I was comatose for a month as
part of this incident she cannot seem to understand why I am bitter
and frustrated by the past three months, and she seems to have no idea
why the net means as much to me as it does. All she seems to
understand is standing over my bedside in Topeka and carrying on,
about me being in a coma for a month and while I appreciate that she
needs to know how I feel now.
Anyone who wants to chat with me more about the events of the past
three months can call me direct at 316 331 7557 in Independence, KS.
I have been placed 'on leave' from the Kansas Rehabilitation Hospital
for a one month to see how well I can benefit.
Also they (at the hospital) want me to return for BRAIN SURGERY ABOUT
THE FIRST OF MARCH and the recovery from that will take some time as
well so I might as well just give up now.
Anyone who needs to contact me can do so at my mom's house, where like
a vegtable or a rock I am drawing social security disability,
contemplating my future, and admittedly feeling bitter and frustrated
about where things are at.

[ PS from John Levine: now that I know that Pat won't be able to moderate
again soon, I'll set up an interim arrangement for the Telecom digest. ]
