Wide-O, good to hear you are on the mend.
As for me I am doing remarkably well from where I have been. It is either because I am busy, distracted and happier in general..... or that cutting back on the smokes in a huge contributing factor. Whatever the reason I hope it continues. I still have a very long way to go and had mostly given up hope but now I am optimistic that in time I can live a reasonably "normal" life.
To all my American friends, Happy Thanksgiving. Every day should be a day to give thanks and count our blessings, but some days are easier than others. I will be having my family here and I hope my legs cooperate and I am able to prepare a wonderful dinner to show my family how much I cherish them.
