hello, have not had time to be here lately, but missed yu all. I worry
alot of what kind of problems my son may have, but he has done rally
well on Asacol, and I was told by my GI dr, he is taking the best drug.
Thinks for me are ot going all that good anymore, I am still crying
everyday even taking all the meds I do, I saw pain dr. Tuesday, and I
told het that I cannot believe the pulling pain never goes away, and now
I am having alot of hard pains, that only last for a few minutes, but
really hurt alot today. It has been a week since I have had a
cigarette, and this time I am determinrd to quit, if I do have the
nextsurgery, my lungs could not have taken it, the last 2 surgeries they
had ro keep me on oxygen for 2 days, and I am not used to that. still
keeping as busy as i can, and are disappointed for the Reds, but they
still had a GREAT YEAR, cinti was proud of them. They will be back next
year for underdogs, and such a young team, wait til they are veterans.
Tank you my son is doing great, and he has met a beautiful girl, thay he
has falle for and I love her dearly!
