> What have I done wrong and how do I fix it?Been a while since I've needed
your help.  Had bigger problems.  My wife, Florine, died of a cerebral
hemorrhage last June 30th.  Ended up in the hospital with a
nervous-breakdown.  My son&his son flew to Medford, OR picked up a rental
van loaded it and we left Friday Sept. 17 after a dialysis treatment.
 Arrived in Kilgore, TX, Monday Sept. 20 for my next scheduled dialysis.
 I'm ready to go home now.
