Jim, I agree. The kids will be a great source of distraction and hopefully will give you a few laughs. I hope your pain is under control and they are staying on top of that.
I always looked forward to reading your posts, your wit intertwined with your bits of advice always gave me a good laugh.
Thank you! Sorry you have to go through this after all you've been through.

Well, tomorrow is the day for the MRI and hopefully to ASK a lot of questions and get some answers, My youngest son is going with me and if nothing erlse, LOL , his size should raise some awareness with these Drs. This is the one that is into World's strongest Mans Competions. My hardest job lately has been getting food into this large cavity called a mouth and then swallowing it with plenty of water and soft butter. I am back down to the high 150s in weight and do my best to keep food going in to raise the weight. I am sorry I don't post much, but when I sit, for some reason the skin tightens over my eyes and pulls them closed. Next thing I know the time has changed. I hope everyone here feels better and that everyone of us whip this garbage. Keep em guessing will ya?? {^^}


Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.

Don't keep us in Suspense EZJim, what did your Champion Son wring out of the doctors? I am hoping and praying that it is POSITIVE. You are a real inspiration to all of us here at OCF.
I may not be as pretty as your Angels (Okay, I am definitely not as pretty as your Angels), but I do care about you brother.
