Annoying daughter w/stipulations...

So glad dad is so much better! Obviously, lots of drugs. It's pretty entertaining....

My dad said that he would love to have visitors...please do not stay any longer than an hour. Very important...my mom & dad are way too nice (I'll be the bad guy - cousin Jon, I know you were already thinking it :)) & would never kick you out, so please be cognizant of the time you are here.

The MOST IMPORTANT stipulation....
If you are sick. If you have allergies/allergy symptoms. If you have been exposed to anyone in any way (ie your kids or wife or husband is sick, or has been sick in the preceding week), do NOT come by. This is extremely important. It is vital to dad's health, treatment, & ability to fight this "thing!" Again...do NOT come by if there is any chance you may pass along a virus.

Dad loves walks - day, evening, light, dark, rain, snow, sun, clouds, fogs...he's up for anything. He appreciates anyone that is willing to come by & join him for a jaunt. I do want to forewarn you, dress warmly because you may be out for awhile. Dad may have cancer, but he's still an ultra marathoner. How proud he makes us all (& makes some of us that are a little lazy at times, feel a little guilty)!!! What a role model!

Hello:

What a blessiing it is to hear that you are up and running; thanks for the updates, Ron, and keep them coming. I'd love to sign up as a walking partner if we lived closer. Until I can join you in Salem, I'll keep you in my thoughts during my own walks here in Issaquah! Don't overdue it and pace yourself. Tina

You just can't keep and"old Beaver" down can you! It is so good to be able to keep up with your progress while I'm in Redmond. Everything you are going through, we went through with my dad. Keep the Purrell (sp?) handy, anything you can do to reduce your risk of an infection is very important, Duh.
I will be over in Salem next week. Up for a short visit? I'll call you when I get there. Looks like I may need a team of Huskies to get over the pass, but I'll make it.
I guess one good result of all this is that you may finally learn how to type!
Hand in there, Ron. You are one amazing "Batman". I know you will win this battle. By the way, has this affected your "wingspan"? Just checking.
Hope to see you next week. Love to you, Kathy, and your family.
