DeanCarl Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Except that there realy isn't any thing to update. 17 months past my dx and 2 months past the longest estimate the docs gave me and I'm still chuggin' along. Still pretty much home bound due to muscle weakness, however I did get out 2 weekends ago. A friend came over and we loaded my walker into his mini-van and he, Gay and myself went to Sunset cliffs and watched the ocean for about a half an hour. It was a cloudy, cool day (rare for San Diego (except for this year )) and it was realy pretty. Then stopped by In and Out for some burgers on the way home. A very nice day. Lessee, coughing? the same. SOB? The same. Still no sign of matasis. Still on the same type and amount of meds. Which are all GOOD things. So the upshot is that, for reasons nobody can explain (and I don't CARE why ), I'm still here. Nothing else. I still try to log on to the board every day and have even been able to respond a little bit to other messages lately. I think about you all every day and share each day in your joys, your sadness and your fears. I wish I could respond more but will do so as I can. Take care. Dean Quote
shelliemacs Posted March 7, 2005 Posted March 7, 2005 Dean, SOOO glad you posted. I think of you everyday and pray for you and Gay.
