hi tim...no snow but got stuck in that oklahoma ice storm and had to drive to dallas for flight back to FL. visit to wife's family was nice..kept myself medicated...her dad is in a nursing/rehab facility...scary place to contemplate. very nice facility but the some of the patients just break your heart. back home now and number 1 goal is to try to get back to 121 lbs...where i was before i lost 6 lbs during my week with the flu...forcing food down and taking a weight gain supplement too...will start to work out with my weight bench and weights...see if that helps....5 minutes tho and i/m pooped....Also will try to cut back on my roxicet and ativan....been 5 and half months on them and docs say try to wean myself off....difficult tho very difficult...get very irritable and nervous feeling as withwrawal kicks in.....try to stretch time between doses but doesnt seem fair to subject my wife and grandson to my bad temper...will keep you all posted as to my success. new stuff medically...they found a 1.2cm spot on my spine so have to get another "better" MRI done....neurosurgeon says stats are in my favor for it being benign and not too difficult even if they decide it has to come out.....then i have to undergo another biopsy of a thyroid mass (dec 27). the last time they did one they did not get quite enough material for a firm diagnosis...looked benign at that point 2/3 months ago, but doctor wants another biopsy just to be sure....not fun but not that bad either.
ok tim and others reading...thanks for support and will update hopefully with good news...Wayne
