I took this picture this morning on the way to the hospital to pick Tony up after his overnight stay. Yes, he has been crook again!! He is home again, with more tablets & more tests to be done.

Hi, thanks for that. I thought it looked pretty striking. I wanted to get another picture, but a bloke was hanging around, so I moved on. Tony is on the mend. #6650689Dominick M. Dimacale October 24, 2008

I'm pleased to show you all the statue. As for Tony, I don't know what to do with him, he seemss to be pushing himself to try & get over his accident. Maybe this scare will slow him down. #Note, I said "maybe". #6661173John Connolly October 26, 2008
