Tim Simpkins: Update 2/13/01

Hello, Friends

This is brother Mark answering per Tim.Tim has been very tired and in much pain since Saturday afternoon. He is trying lots of medicines. Somehow it will work out ok.

Tim hopes everyone enjoyed their week-end racing. He wishes you folks a fine week of running as you prepare for your next race.

Hospital is about 150 yards from an elementary school. We listen to kid's laughter and shouting all day. Neighbors next door play loud TV almost constantly. Chatty nurses are heard in hallway 24 hours daily. Eight or nine year old boy runs in the hallway coming to or going from his room all day. Tim and I manage to ignore most of these sounds because he is so tired. Also we run two fans at night to lull us to sleep.

Tim is trying hard to like the food. The blandness and the sameness are hard to ignore. His favorite food are scrambled eggs, toast with strawberry jam, and cantaloupe.

Tim thinks everyone for their great e-mails. These messages really help him in his dark moments of pain. Tim saves his e-mails.

Again, Tim wishes you Happy Running and Happy Living!

"Fighting Tim"
