This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Dear Edouard,

    Even when I don't reply to your updates, I'm still thinking of you and wishing only good progress.

    I think the most important part of all of this is your supremely positive attitude, demeanor, outlook, courage and any other words that describe a strong person with much fortitude.

    Thank you for sharing updates. Your work is inspiring. And your inspiration is most welcome.

    Dear V-8 Buick community,

    Sorry for not keeping everyone up to date on my situation, but I have been in something of a limbo health-wise until enough time had passed since the surgery of early August. It hasn't been an easy time. I just cannot get enough air through my nose at this point and have to constantly irrigate it with saline throughout the day. I finally met with the plastic/reconstructive surgeon to review the healing since August. I was very afraid that he would propose that there was nothing more he could do. Thankfully, he was just the opposite and agreed with me that something needs to be done to further thin the skin graft so I can breathe better.

    Adding to my misery is some substantial scar tissue in the undamaged nostril. Between the two, I have very little airflow. I had tentatively scheduled an independent operation to remove that scar tissue. However, the plastic/reconstructive surgeon thinks he can work on both nostrils in one operation to spare me a second surgery.

    It will be something of a race to complete this operation before Christmas, but the surgery is now scheduled for the afternoon of Friday, December 16th. It will be clearly a tough time to be healing from another operation, but it will be better than struggling to breath all the time.

    Thanks for all your support! As you can see the process is continuing to unfold!

    Edouard

    Dear Rich, Bill, James, and V-8 Buick community,

    Thanks for your prayers and kind wishes. Alas there are new health problems in the family, so Thanksgiving will definitely be austere. As the old saying goes "when it rains it pours . . . . . "

    Thanks again,
    Edouard
