I know I posted earlier on this thread - but didnt mention what I'd do symtom free (cause the nausea is really worse then the pain for me) --- but - I've this planned for years.....

Get in a little red convertible like I used to have and drive up the gorgeous coast of California along highway 1 from Ventura to San Franciso - which is right along the ocean - beautiful ocean, cliffs, breathtaking views, trees so windblown they reach out over the ocean - redwoods (would have to hug a big one in Big Sur), a trek along 17 Mile Drive in Carmel and maybe swing by Laguna Seca Raceway--- while at the same time eating all the foods I've been dreaming about having again for years.... a great japanese meal, pizza, some real Mexican food, a big old greasy burger and fries, cheetohs (essential) - nibbles of off the favs - desserts - etc.... and end the day just in time to cross the Golden Gate Bridge and watch the sun set over Stinson Beach in Marin Country - and a couple of friends to share it with.....

Can you tell I've thought about this for a long time??????
