That constipation is such a bugger!!! Why don't tell you that?!?!? I found out the hard way. It was worse than the tongue pain.

How's it goin Jim...you seem to be in better spirits. I've been thinking about you. I go to the doc on Monday. Ray says my tongue looks better:) I'm still planning on asking for the biopsy.

EZJIM, I am sad you must go thru more....sometimes it just seems some are 'hit' w/ so much to bear. YOU will come thru this just fine, I believe after all you have been thru w/ the Oral Cancer pain/treatmentu you will just fly thru this. Sincerely. What happened that even caused them to check it? You certainly are cared about so much.....there is support/strength coming to you.

THey were checking for a hernia and did 3 ctScans in less than 3 weeks to make sure that it is what it lloked like. No hernia but antoer anneurysm. I guess we are all out thru the tests of life. The Dr that did the 1st repair is very good, but wants me to be where there are a number of specialsts just in case.
