    Guys,, I was over at Jerry's today to drop off some speaker cables,,Ben and Russ,(lightman) dropped by.Ben looks somewhat bloated,feet and ankles were somewhat edematous(swollen),somewhat jaundiced(yellow),his overall color was kinda yellow-gray.His eyes were slightly yellowish as well.When I left I'm assuming that Lightman took him to the hospital.If/when I know more I'll post it here,,looking back,I guess that I should have contributed more than I did.
    JC approves....he told me so. (F-1 nut)

    Get well soon Ben. Damn you have suffered more illness and injury in the 3 years I have been here than I have in a lifetime :p

    Well, I just pulled off the impossible by doing a double-blind comparison all by myself, purely by virtue of the fact that I completely and stupidly forgot what I did last. I guess that getting old does have its advantages after all :D

    I'm glad you weighed in George as I know you were with him before he went to the hospital and wasn't telling me everything.

    Sunday Morning Update-- I had advised Ben to go to his community hospital,,closer to his home etc,, as usual,,no one listens to me,,lol.So,,Ben is a patient in the hospital where I work,it's a medium sized Medical Center and pretty good too..with that said, I just spoke with him,he is feeling ok(probabally due to the morphine),but he has several issues that will need to be diagnosed and corrected, currently he has had various lab and x- rays (CT--MRI) and is currently on his was to Ultrasound.He was seen in the ED, and admitted to the hospital early this morning.He wanted me to tell everyone hello.Judging by the tone of his voice,he is sounds like his spirits are much better.I'll keep everyone posted on a daily basis if you like.If you want to send him a card his new addy is
