Well I didn't reach my goal weight, but I did beat a lot of other goals & problems. I wish I had been here more often, but time & circumstances didn't award me w/ the proper time. I did enjoy the days I did participate. Thank you guys for being you. Thank you Michael, for setting this up again.
Here's an update on my physical self, Michael.

Hi Guys!
Well therapy w/ the new place was not what I had hoped for. Long story short, Dan said for me not to take my pain meds b/c it would mask the pain & I might overdue. (That’s what happened to him). So I did the intake & then about 10 mins. into the range of motion exam, yowzer!!! Something popped & shot excruciating pain in my back. I was rolled down to ER where I spent the rest of the day. They wanted to put me back in the hospital. I refused, saying I could lay in my own bed if they’d just supply me w/ the proper pain meds. They called my doctor who wrote me the scrips. She knows how I feel about meds & if I was begging for them, then I needed them. She also arranged for me to see a pain management specialist to get this under control. A shot in the butt & I’m back home in my own bed. YAY!!!
Oh the poor therapist, all she did in the end was to have me lay on my stomach w/ 2 pillows under me. That’s what caused the pain. She told me not to come back until I was pain free. Well I need her then???
So the good news is that I finish my HHC today w/ relaxation. A little nauseated & fuzzy headed, but I’m fighting to the end.J J J 　　 Quote: “Not everyday is a good day, but there is something good in every day”.
