Extractions: WASHINGTON (CNN) The odds were against Leroy Richmond living to tell his story. He was the first of four Washington D.C.-area postal workers diagnosed with inhalation anthrax. "I was a victim of circumstance in the beginning," Richmond said. "It's an amazement to me how two of my closest friends that I knew quite well got the anthrax bacteria and died and myself and another person got the same effect from the bacteria and lived." Richmond spent 27 days in the hospital fighting for his life and he's been on sick leave since then. When he was infected, he was working clean-up detail. "They knew the postmaster was coming that Thursday," he said. The letter sent to Sen. Tom Daschle, D-South Dakota, had been found the week before, he added.
