Hi SP!,

How's everything?  Shall I send (back) or shred?????  Your pleasure, of
course.  Are you planning on an US holiday in the coming year?  Maybe we
should all head for the Mancuso's neighborhood!  ;-)

You too.... I never got back to you. I think the same thing applies. I
don't think I can  come up at that time, as I have a Perio course over a
few weekends. We could phohe each other though...

If things change, I'll let you know.

That's true... I told you I'd answer your email and then I forgot
completely about it.

I dunno as far as holidays goes... it's always a question of $$$...
We're losing our hygienist for a year on sabbatical in Switzerland
starting in July.. That's gonna put a damper on earnings and any
thoughts about vacation have to hinge around whether or not we can find
a replacement. (There's a dearth here).

As far as the cheque goes: do as you feel right. I read the book over
the Xmas holidays, and it was fresh then. The one thing that stuck in my
memory was that lady sitting in some nursing home somewhere, with the
skin over both replacement joints opening up (as the body rejected the
things), and the bone over them slowly melting away to eventually expose
the brain... Her care giver sent an SOS to the SMD--- and there were NO
responses at all... I cannot imagine how those people must have felt as
the cold reality of the situation set in... There was no help
forthcoming, and that lady was doomed to die from meningitis or related
infections as the brain case opened up.

I was thinking of something witty to say last week as the 22nd
aniversary of your.... debacle ... came up, but I could not find
anything. The fact that you have found the best revenge (to live well)
does go to show how resiliant the human spirit can be, at least in some
cases.

Thanks, and see the post I sent last night. That's a song to cheer one
up when one needs it...

Cheers

I'm sorry to hear about your staffing problem/s.  Maybe your hygienist
will send you a replacement????

The check (cheque) is best destroyed at this end, I think.  That way you
won't have to worry about it getting back in your hands.  So go ahead
and void it from your book.

.... quite something...

It was important to me that I was able to find a way to let it be known
that as much as we all have our own stories ... the hidden or invisible
population depends upon the courage of others to tell their stories for
them.  I only wish I could have done a better job of it -- but the book
was like a casserole; everything tossed into one dish and you get what
you get.  The book was never meant to tell a sanitized version of
anything and OTOH, it wasn't meant to embellish any version either.  
Thank you very much for taking time from your busy family life and
practice to read up on a little bit of history.

And that it does do!!!  Thanks, SP!

As time was dragging you all through this turmoil, it WASN'T a
sanitized, textbook version of some esoteric malady, but a prison
sentence (and for a few, even a death sentence). If anything at all, it
should teach dentists that their actions have consequences, and that
professional responsibility should make them think twice about
performing ANY treatment.

You know, it'd be pertinent to produce an interview type documentary
with you, some other patients and a dentist or other moderator who is
familiar with the history. (Say Steve Fawks, who seems to have been
there from the get-go). A DVD of that interview could become required
listening for dental students.

>and OTOH, it wasn't meant to embellish any version either.

My pleasure and my gain. It wasn't hard... The Mother in Law's place is
not in a city but in a small town outside Rimouski , and my Sympatico
connection isn't portable; thus the time I would have spent at night
writing silly things on the SMD was spent reading your book. That was
why I was in such a hurry to get it before we left for the Xmas
holidays.

So save it to your iBook and play it back when you're in a bum mood. I
did that with the Bright side of Life song and the Lumberjack Song,
whick you can get by going to the original web page (with the link I
posted in the address bar, just back space over the part after the web
site).

Cheers
SP

I truly appreciate your comments.  What the future might bring is
anyone's guess at this point.  

I'm off to babysit the baby for a week.  That should be fun.  :-)
