Erik,

I hear you loud and clear. Even though I've accepted that this may be the way I'm going to be, it does not mean that I'm going to give up trying to better myself. I'm really, very happy with the amount of recovery that I've had. Yes, I can't eat what I once did. And yes, I sound a little funny when I speak, but I still get up and go to work everyday! You'll never hear me complain about that.

Regards,

John
