Whoh, this is some heavy stuff that's been going along. Wow, Roy, good luck with this thing. I once had a roommate who would periodically go start raving mad like a lunatic. He was a real good guy otherwise. Jut periodically He'd wake up in the insane asylum in a straight jacket, on and off for many many years. Really. This temporary insanity was real, and he had no control over it. Doctors of every stripe look into it and gave up.
Later, after hearing of some food allergy problems some folks had, on his own, over many years of episodes he eventually found and learned that he was only allergic to Soy and soybean products. Turns out this is in almost all foods any more. Soy oil etc. However, he had to eat more than a little to kick the crazyness in. Eventually he figured this all out, but it was almost making him crazy trying to figure it out. Heres to hoping you can nail all this crazy sh#t down as well. Good luck.
Regards
Bill

Couchmaster:
I must say that is quite an interesting story.
I get temporary insanity, but I know what it's from: wrestling with voice-activated software !!!
Every now and then I get taken down to the mat and go temporarily wacko...

The outpouring of support from all you generous folks is really quite a tribute to the power of our community.
I'm also really stoked that we have support of the band!!!!!!
Here's an update on a few items:
Roy’s April 25 Benefit Schedule:
Sushi : 5 p.m.
Auction : 7 p.m.
Slideshow : 8 p.m.
Sushi:
There will be an all you can eat sushi bar open from 5 p.m. to 6:30 p.m.
This will be available only through prepaid donations of $30.
Contact Doug Lafarge for payment: doug [at] lafarge.net
After 6:30, the remainder of the sushi will be sold à la carte on a first-come first-served walk-up basis.
Auction:
There has been a wonderful outpouring of donations for the auction.
We plan to hold it at 7:00-8:00 pm, just prior to Dean’s slideshow.
If you are interested in bidding and cannot attend, please find someone who will be present to be your proxy and bid for you. Cash or check only.
There is a lot of fine stuff here, but bear in mind that the purpose is to help Roy, so it’s ok if your bid exceeds the actual value!
Stay tuned to this thread for updates to the list.

I do recognize the picture, Crusher, and I'm delighted to see
it. I think I'm just out of the frame, in fact.
It's just...Tucker? and BEER?
I was shocked, that's all.

It kinda looks like the auction may take longer than an hour. Is it going to be a written down on paper bid by the item or an out loud auction ? Also, what types of payment are you accepting ? I've been to a few fundraiser auctions and just collecting the money and other details take quite a bit of time... jess thinking out loud.
When does the Band start their jazz !!!! and When do they need to quit ? Can you tell I'm looking forward to the music :)) Need time for the Band....Cheers, lynne

Lynne,
Yes the auction list is rather extensive!
It does appear that it will take more than an hour to get through it...
We are hesitant to establish minimum bids at this time; currently we are looking at an open bid format.
Suggested minimums may be suitably announced at the time the item is presented for auction.
This will be a verbal live auction with spotters.
Payable by cash or check.
I don't know when the band cranks up; my guess would be we will figure that out on the fly and unleash them according to what's happening...

It may make sense to divide things into three piles. One would be for relatively small/modest value items, which could be draw prizes. (When you enter and make a donation, you get a draw ticket....) Then stuff for a silent auction, though that takes some managing. Then stuff for the no holds barred live auction.
It sounds like it will be a lot of fun, and I'm looking forward to it.

There will be a $20 minimum donation requested at the door.
This gets you a poster for the event:
This poster is a limited-edition commemorative item, featuring an iconic Bullwinkle photo of Yabo in action, on Joshua Tree stone.
We are going to ask folks to kick in more if they wish to have the poster signed.
(Hey, this is a fundraiser, and Dean's photograph plus a signature from a bona fide Stonemaster equates to real market value down the line)
We may consider doing a silent auction for a good number of the items which have been donated, allowing us to focus our time allotted for the live auction on a manageable number of memorabilia items.
Your input is much appreciated Anders!

I predict an epic of disasterous proportions! Or would that be a disaster of epic proportions? Either way, I've got to get out to see this hoedown - it's really going to launch my season one way or the other if I survive...

Tremendous outpouring of support for old Tarbaby I must say.
With cash and auction items, I'm continuing to pay for PT & Docs.
The current skinny on those efforts:
I'm doing two therapies each week, ASTYM is a manual therapy using tools that are stripped against the skin, perturbing the underlying scar tissue in my arms, which in turn encourages macrophages and fibroblasts to infiltrate the area and lay in new collagen beds.
Today on my fifth session we found we'd gotten through one layer of fibrotic tissue and encountered a secondary, deeper layer which is much thicker and much more resistant to the tools. So much like peeling back the onion and finding some real significant trouble; this after he said the first few sessions revealed more fibrotic tissue than any of his patients he has seen, specifically in their muscle bellies.
This particular therapy is being done gratis by Supertopo very cool guy Spectreman: big thanks to him.
The other is a very specific manual therapy called MAT, and after brassnuts paid for the first session, I've now paid for six more. Strategically this is a complementary therapy, because it seeks to turn on the muscles which have been long exhausted through splinting or spasm, or just not firing correctly or in concert with related muscles.
What's encouraging about that is that it is highly detailed in its evaluation of individual muscles, which of course are many in the forearm.
The adjunct to nutritional therapy to those two manual elements is ingestion of systemic enzymes, primarily proteolytic, taken between meals and intended to assist with immune function and help the body digest scar tissue. I believe this is termed fibrinolytic activity.
I'm not yet feeling any change in my condition.
I stayed in the loop with my local rheumatology Dr. and re-scheduled my initial appointment another six weeks out, so that I might evaluate the outcome of scar tissue removal; then bring those findings. It may be that I have valid questions about excessive fibrosis and muscle tissue. Likewise I may find that removing the scar tissue doesn't change my condition. Either way I'm thinking I need to keep my conduit to more targeted referral open.
Dana B has been very helpful in searching three medical libraries to supply me with papers in support of any therapies in which I'm interested in evaluating.
Thanks again for all your support!
This means a lot to me.

Joseph may have meant to say "A proportion of disaster epics". Climbers and epics go together like peas and carrots, in the words of Mr. Gump.
