I've heard from Mrs. peterre again, and peterre has been in, and remains in, a nursing home. She said he's not doing too well, his balance problems were exacerbated by the surgeries, and he can't walk, and can barely stand. She didn't say, but I'm hoping his mental state is better than that, and want to ask you all to include him in your prayers. If you pray, if not, please focus your positive mental energies toward his recovery! astarte The unexamined life is not worth living.- Socrates What is the essence of life?
