Wow Jack, It sounds like you have been through the ringer. I have really dwindled down to a bucket of bones and tendons. Don't know why but they would not put a PEG in me and swallowing is a bit of a challenge. My weight is about half of what it was now but they keep saying I haven't lost "significant" weight. I eat a lot too. Very perplexing. Glad to hear you are doing okay or at least here to tell about it!

Wishing you a Happy New Year and continued blessings, my friend.
