Hello friends, Our big guy Rafed is in the hospital recovering from a nasty infection from a bee sting. He was in severe pain, leg swollen and could not walk. To those who do not know Rafed, he is a big stocky guy and when he cannot walk it is serious business. He is still in the hospital. Let wish him a speedy recovery. Paul

Rafed, We all need you to be "on the road again"... On the road again - Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is making music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again Goin' places that I've never been. Seein' things that I may never see again And I can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again - Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway We're the best of friends. Insisting that the world keep turning our way And our way is on the road again. Just can't wait to get on the road again. The life I love is makin' music with my friends And I can't wait to get on the road again. On the road again Like a band of gypsies we go down the highway We're the best of friends Insisting that the world keep turning our way And our way is on the road again.

And I can't wait to get on the road again. __________________ George, NJ_z7a.

Paul, I was not expecting this but thank you very much. It means a World to me. I want to thank each and everyone one of you for wishing me well. I am over whelmed with joy. Especially you Brent. And for those who sent me emails thank you too. Frank, I agree with you but it happened while I was driving my truck on Thursday. I dealt with it all through Friday night because I was too stubborn to seek help. Long story short, the doctor says it is more of a bacteria infection that the bee could have been carrying and mix it with the venom well, as you see. It is the most excruciating pain ever and most of the time I cannot stand on my leg. I will be in the hospital for another one or two days for sure. I will get better for sure. Once again, thank you all.

Rafed, Here's to wishing the bad stuff out and the good stuff in. How about a fig and honey wound dressing? (Perhaps a poor attempt at humor, not the doctor's orders). Hope you feel your normal self soon. __________________ Neil Reno, NV Zone 6b

Rafed--Sorry to hear you're laid up, but it will take more than bees and bacteria to keep you down for long. Besides--you've got to get back home and keep everybody from running off with your faforite figs! I hope somebody's watching the farm! Get well soon. __________________ Ken Tucson, Arizona Zone 8b
