Re: "CHISHOLM TRAIL HUNT 2008" Brand the calendar October10-12th for CTH2
Despite the wild rumours out there around the corral.......I didn't run off with the bar maid, I didn't fall in a gopher hole, I didn't get bitten by a rattlesnake, and.....wait a second, did I say I didn't run off with the bar maid

? Then, I guess it must be my metal detector........whewwwwwww
Ok....I'm back. I know I have a lot of catching up to do. Thanks to Marc's magic, I can now read my email and post. Unfortunately, Marc couldn't save my PMs, but at least I'm back in the saddle!
For those who don't remember me..............I'M BORNINOK and I hope...hope....hope that I am going to be able to make it to CTH2.
Long story short. Gayle will go in the hospital on Sep 17 at which time they will remove her left kidney. Unfortunately, everything that we have worked toward since last September.....didn't work. The left kidney is shot. Now, most people can live on 1 kidney; however, with Gayle being a diabetic, it is going to be rough. She should be in the hospital at least a week after that and then will stay at her sister's house because it is a one level house. Mine is split level with the bedrooms and bathrooms upstairs.
And....Gayle has stated that since she will be staying at her sister's house, then I WILL get my arse into my pickup and drive to CTH2. So....those of you who were planning to win........forget it. BORNINOK is back in the saddle again.
Now....all of this will depend on how she comes out of the operation. It's not an easy one, but they are going to try to do it laproscopically (sp?). So....that is where I am.
First and foremost, I want to thank all of you for the thoughts and prayer. And....to Burdie for being so understanding. And, yes, Burdie, I will get the check in the mail.
In the meantime....I will be trying to catch up on everything......
Take care,
Mel
