Hey Pickle,

Christine got it absolutely right. With everyone around me in a royal panic, I couldn�t get an appointment to see my doctor for nearly 3 months. Since I had been bugging them his nurse was ignoring my messages and it took a threat to get an appointment. Bet she doesn�t do that again.

While I was waiting, I researched, spent time with friends, took care of the little things and did my normal Christmas dinner event. Those quality moments will stick with me until I breathe my last because I approached that holiday as if there would be no other like it.

If you wind up in treatments life will change. It will be rushed and you won�t get much time for relaxation and the little joys for a while. Keep in mind even if you get bad news, the last name added to the list stands the best chance of a cure, gets the latest and the best treatment available in history.

Spoil your family, friends and yourself now just in case. If it turns out that you discovered some new form of �oral-roid� and are perfectly healthy, that time won�t be wasted and your life will be a little better for the change in perspective.

Whatever is going on, it sounds like things are moving in the right direction and happening early.

Be well and happy,

UncleVern
