Sorry...I've been on the health merry-go-round in the seventh circle of Hell. However, I'm improving a bit. Figured out a couple things, but it may take a long time for my body to recover. Not easy being cheerful and pleasant amidst all of that, too. Was just trying to get my head above water last year when Mrs. Pacman turned out to have breast cancer. Fortunately, even though it was very aggressive, she had a team of aces working for her. Initial diagnosis Stage 2/3, downgraded to 1 after the lumpectomy. Surgery, a few days of radiation, and a few years of hormone blockers, no chemo. Just got her 1 year clean bill of health last Friday. Obviously it's much worse to have it, but I doubt there is a more helpless feeling in the world for a man than to watch his wife hurting and not be able to do a damned thing except be the best husband he can be.
Not sure if I'll ever be healthy enough to go back to work (wow, do I ever miss it), but keeping my license to practice active. Trying to slowly ease back into society as I figure out some of my own stuff. Always enjoyed chatting with you and Tank, BTW. Hope life is treating you with kid gloves these days.
