Normal is for people wwho lack imagination pffft 
I just like hearing from you xxx

What is this "NORMAL", of which you speak?? I don't think I know what it means, Jonboy.
Someone told me, long time ago, the best way to move through your days is one foot at a time, step by step. That funny nurse you spoke of simply told you, today, you are GREAT! Tomorrow lives around the corner..we can't see it, so we're not planning for it..just look at today, ok?

I'm glad your LOF Checkup was good... aren't you glad you're not a Toyota??

Thanks for letting us know!

Yikes!...I fear I have done a disservice with my crummy update. Thought I was posting good news…but have been receiving condolence responses from family, friends, and colleagues. My fault, my apologies…upon rereading I see that it was WAY too negative.

Fact is, that while this is a nasty disease, I am currently stable and, God willing, looking to remain so for years. Great news! for which I am entirely grateful ….the bad possibilities be damned…I do NOT dwell on them. Treated this like a blog….which was disrespectful of family…folks care way too much for me to be so careless. There’s a time and a place for discussing the “bad stuff”…and when announcing good news…that sure aint it.

I’ll do better….your support means everything to THIS knothead.....

Best,

Jon
