Hello to all my friends

I wanted to drop in. Happy Holidays
I pray for a joyful season to you all

I am feeling much better. Progress is going very slow, which for those of you
know me, and my personality of "lets Go NOW" and "I can do it" is tough to deal with.
The good news is although my mobility is behind schedule. my memory and
origination are improving. Other than reading Emails and post here on
Pace and Cap. I could hardly get the energy to open my tablet,
I have been able to actually handicap a few races. I started out only doing 1 race. One night I felt strong enough to sit up, With my laptop I opened up RDSS and downloaded some night tracks. The first race I saw was coming up
was a race from Turfway. in race 5, race 4 was about to go off.
I worked the race but it took me so long to remember how to pick my lines
and with very little extra energy, I had to take lots of breaks
I finished just in time. I was able to go to twinspires because it loads for me
right from RDSS2 . I put in a $2 win bet on my top RX3 choices.
I just barley made it . I was so nice to watch the race/video
Well my choice won but I forgot to look at the odds, I watched my horse # 5 win. I was laughing when I saw the 5 was 1/5
After a inquiry involving horses behind mine. I my 5 won. I never even bothered to wait for the payout,
It was so nice to get back into the flow.
I miss a few days, Some days my energy is too low, to look at the tracks download.
I am up to being able to look at maybe 3 races a day.
For about 2 months before I went to the hospital I did lots of modeling using Ted's new improved template . I love Ted's new template
Once I get stronger, I will be back knocking them out of the park.
I bet dad's good home cooking will really help me. My dad is coming to stay with me. He will be here for Christmas and has a dream that we can make it to Del Mar simulcasting, I hope to get strong soon.

Bill thanks for sharing, I know all of us here at Pace and Cap are rooting for your speedy recovery.

Great to see you are coming along. Just don't try to rush it you will get there. Your father will surely pick you up for the holidays. Like Mike I got to meet him at the SPA and must say what a wonderful gentleman he is. Stay strong my friend.

Hello Bill,
Great to hear from you and Merry Christmas. It will be a great New Year as its great to be alive. Very nice your Dad can get there for the holidays and be there for you.

I had a by-pass at age 46 or so and it kicked my ass. Now that the worst part is over I can say that. You go from total exhaustion to gradually improvement with each day. It only takes a few more steps each day for that improvement. Then you do too much it sets you back a day or two to rebuild those energy reserves. Bill you've made great progress and realistically need another month or so to see the big difference as each day you'll gain strength. You have to remain calm and control that get up and go, Races will always be there everyday. Follow the medical staff instructions as their techniques have been proven by many thousands of patients exactly like you.

Your well on you're way Bill and in time it'll get easier and easier. The rough part has passed and the dangerous beaten path is behind. You're doing great! Enjoy your family and the holidays.

Bill,

Glad to hear you're making progress. I'm sure it will be great to have your father with you at Christmas. But, New Years may be better. Looking forward to a new year having made it through the old year and knowing there are good things to come.

Good capping.

Happy New Year,

Tim

Bill,

I'm glad it's "Getting Better." I found a list I thought you might enjoy, since you and I share an interest in Sir Paul's music.

Since we are going down a Paul McCartney route I thought it only right to post this cover version by The Faces. Enjoy Bill.
