Dear Delzora,
Your sending messages on the "2005 group" and it may be better to use the "All group".  I will do an invitation to your email so we can all see your communications.  Please believe you are much missed and needed as always in this group.  Many have left for time to time to catch their breath or what ever is needed and we always welcome your check-in weather short or in novel form, or at least I do.  Please bring us up to date.
I am sending the invitation to your email address registered in the 2005 group and you should watch for it because your computer may not recognize the address and put it in the "junk" or "spam folder". 
By  the way
RB and Buck,
you are in my prayers.  RB you know we can't overlook this condition we share.  You guys are my heroes and I need your brave recovery as a statement of hope. 
 
I have been busy this year or maybe hiding in work but I have been preparing to have a bypass surgery for some time.  I had a stress test lately in preparation to the surgery and the Doctor told me if I didn't have a left ventricular ejection fraction of 45% or higher he probably wouldn't do the surgery.  My test showed a 61% which is remarkable.  Shortly after the results came in the bypass sergeant wrote me and said that the Doctors "frowned upon" missed appointments.  He told me he will not perform the operation.  I am looking for another doctor but angry and really need this operation.  I do believe I could have been more responsible with my time though it so much easier for me to go to the aid of a client and put off my own need.
 
Love you all
Ed Lyon

Subject: [NCAFP2005] Happy New Year!

Happy New Year All!

This is Delzora M. Clark, if anyone remembers me.  I have resurfaced and would like to beseech each and every one of you for forgiveness for my `drop-from-the- world' absence.  There were so many issues in my life that had gone awry that I simply had to focus on being the best mother, daughter and co-worker that I could be and not make time for anything else.  I hope that each of you will at some point find a space of forgiveness in their hearts for me and allow me back into the fold.

Things are manageable enough that I have started to pick up some of the things that I enjoy again (like this group, like allowing some time to focus on myself) and I'm happy about that for I have missed doing many of the things that brought me joy, but my family is still in tack.  So, now the `rock of the Clark Gibraltar' can now regain some flexible time.  I sincerely hope that everyone is doing well.  I have so much to catch up on but I'm ready if you all will allow.

Humbly,

Delzora M. Clark
