Thai and Tracy

Thai and Tracy came on Saturday to visit Atring and I. They brought their two sons Anthony (6 yrs) and Andy (2 Yrs). Both of the kids are great!! Thai told me they were shocked when they heard I had ALS. They said they didn't know what it was, but they looked it up on the internet.
I tried to tell them how I felt, but my voice has been declining rapidly for the last month, and they had a hard time understanding me. I treasured their visit. They both worked for me..or shall I say, we worked together at Qualcomm/Kyocera. Thai was the best technician I had ever me. He was very quick troubleshooter, and very accurate. I valued having him on my team. Tracy was also a great tech. But she was also a good leader, and I relied on her to get things done. She never failed me. They both promised they would see me again. I look forward to it.

On another note...Thursday, I am to go in and have a feeding tube inserted. I had gone to the doctor last week, and I evidently had a touch of pneumonia. I was precribed some medications, which seem to have worked. To say I am apprehensive about the operation is an understatement. But I really have no choice. I want to get this done before it becomes and emergency, and while I am still strong. However, I do not relish anyone cutting on me. Nevertheless, I have little choice. As Tracy told me before she left....Be Strong, Chuck.
OK..I will try my best!!
