In October of 2002 I had to pay a visit to the hospital.  They did a quad bypass on my heart, I sure can't recommend it to anyone.  I was in and out in about a week.  I sure was sour for quite a while after  I got home. I spent about a week thinking that it was sure going to be nice when I could sleep on my side again and then I spent a week or so thinking that I was never going to be able to sleep on my side again. Finely I began to be able to shift some of my weight to one side and the light at the end of the tunnel began to show through.  By now I can sleep anyway that I want to and I find it enjoyable to do so. I am doing great. I am going to the Heart Rehabilitation center three times per week and I walk about two and one half miles on the days that I don't go.  I have lost about thirty pounds from before the operation but still have about forty more that it would be nice to loose somewhere.  The pounds are a lot harder to louse now than the early ones were.
 

Enough of that I am feeling fine and am looking forward to spring and the garden and grass mowing. My pickup truck is having problems in it's back(end).  I need to fix it so I can get some fertilizer for the garden.  It is just too cold now to start it but I am hoping the weather will break in a couple of weeks which should give me time without being too last with the garden.

 So for now we are all well and here enjoying Mississippi but looking forward to spring.

 I have been spending quite a bit of time working on our family tree. ( It is a lot warmer than going outside.)  The files contain about 490 people with 110 different Surnames. so it took a lot more that Illks to get me this far.  I have put a it together and it is on the web at  http://Home.att.net/~don_illk/att_index.html  if this URL  is too much typing for you just use http://go.to/donillk/  Please look it over and send me some e-mail it you have any additions, corrections or questions. If you are part of  the "family" I am sure that  you will find it interesting if not t still might be worth looking at.
