Glad to read that you are doing so good. It's been a long road for both of us this year. I'm not doing as good as you are, but I'm better than I was. My pain is back, and today I had to start the Tegretol and Amitriptyline again. I barely slept the past 4 nights because of pain. It's been 4 months since my MVD, so maybe this is just a minor setback. My double vision is improving, and I have special glasses with prisms that now let me drive a little bit. It feels so good to have my freedom back. I think not driving was the worst part of the ordeal. Congratulations on your weight loss! I did Weight Watchers a couple of years ago and lost 30 pounds. It feels great, doesn't it? Keep up the good work and hope your foot is better soon. Sheila
