Two years ago today I was at Penticton Hospital, having what I thought would be my last hemodialysis treatment. I was excited and confident, in 48 hours I was going to get my long awaited new kidney transplant !

It turned out that to be extra cautious I did another two hours hooked up for dialysis the night before the surgery in Vancouver Hospital, but my buzz of excitement wasn’t lessened at all.

April 24, 2019 my family gathered around my bed in excitement to wish me success and pray for…

  Hi Wayne – I haven’t thought of that album since the mid 70’s – ELP fan too! You might like this story. Alice Cooper was just in Penticton and now he is 74. I didn’t go to see him as I saw him in 1975 and it was memorable enough. He was doing his Welcome To My Nightmare album tour and in his opening song, he fell from the top of a prop all the way to the concrete and broke a rib. He left the stage but returned about an hour later – all taped up. What a Trooper, and coincidentally that was the band who opened the concert (Trooper) and who took the stage while AC got taped up. I never did see ELP in person but have seen some live concerts in those years, classical guitar at the Orpheum and Three Dog Night amongst a couple others. Nothing like a live event and that’s why I live live baseball and football. You see it all, the game, the audience and no commercials. – as always I send you well wishes ! – David

    breaking a rib (or anything) at that age is going to be hard for Cooper, especially If he’s doing a tour! Yes, a real Trooper!
    You are living a life well spent David!
