Tony, please be very careful with your intake! I know you are doing much better than most and your weight is now at 211. believe it or not, dehydration and malnutrition can hit you like a ton of bricks. You can feel pretty good and a few hours later you feel so bad you think you may be dying. Or even overnight this can happen. It happened to me and I was hospitalized a couple times which was no fun at all. The worst part was how bad I felt. I wouldnt wish that experience on my worst enemy. So, please push yourself to take in at the very least the minimums of 2500 calories and 48oz of water daily, every single day for the next year.

Try propping yourself up on a couple pillows when you sleep and use a humidifier. This helps with the sinuses. Most sinus medicine will make you only dryer so be careful with using them.

I cant believe you have the stamina to go dancing. You are doing fantastic!!!!
