I know it's been a long time - I've been having a terrible time.  The ONLY place this nasty bogger hasn't spread yet is my right arm.  I've had 4 surgeries in the last four months - and NONE OF THEM HELPED

  That horrible tube in my spine and run out my side thing was a nightmare - I would never do that again.  I have been so upset by the loss of use of my legs and having to have a walker that I can't even gather my thoughts any more.  I'm still not taking any pain meds - all the Drs are shocked - But I have this little guy to raise, and I can't do it if I'm goofy.  I think I need to take a break from all of these "treatments" and get my brain and body back in synch.  I'll try to keep better in touch.
