Gerard, I read this thread last night , before I went to bed.
I hope that your nephew is doing well.
I can say for myself that I was a better person today,
I didn't complain as much,
best wishes to all...
Thank you all very much. I sent him some Bukowski post cards including the post card that has Black Swan and Ponders avatars.
He spent all day in surgery. They removed left side ribs #3,4,5 & 6 and 10% of his left lung. In the process they removed some scar tissue from an operation he had when he was 12 and noticed his aorta is more narrow than it should be.They will deal with that later, after he heals.
He is young strong and healthy so everything is going well. Thank you for the good thoughts for a fellow fan of Mr. Bukowski. He's a sharp young man.
