Hey Carol,

I am over on the east side of the state, Moses Lake, out in the desert, sage brush, lava flows and such.

The did my treatment here and in Wenatchee, with the option of Virginia Mason if something difficult happened. Frankly, I was forced to work to keep my medical Insurance, only learning that if I was too sick to work I would lose it after I started treatment. I shudder to think that I would have declined treatment without the Insurance. Seattle was just too far to travel, 400 mile round trip.

I used to make a regular commute to Bellevue and the "Toy Hauler" story was in Lynnwood. So I am over that way on occassion, currently hoping to make a run to Whidbey Island to get a car left in a family members horse barn years ago.

Hey! Most of my best camps sites are half way between us!

They guess I had was swelling at the upper spinal column, scar tissue maybe. It was a little startling since my whole body would go totally numb.

What ever it was, it slowly went away and I haven't experienced that in forever. It's curious that you still have it, hmmm scar tissue?
Did you regain some weight?

Nice to meet you!
