jinman; If you need 10 of those pounds back, I've got an extra 10 I'd give you!!! I don't have 20 to spare, but 10, I'd be happy to part with!!!

Going to miss not seeing you, Kath and Scott on our trip East. Good to hear that your health is improving. :thumbsup:

Yep Murph, COPD from 30 years of smoking. The pneumonia is directly related to reduced lung function. Luckily, steriods really work well to clear congestion and get my breathing back on track.

We'll miss you too ( and the Muffin). However, the cats won't miss Muffin one bit.

I had a great doctor's appt

super news Jim.
now you see Jim, for those occasional bouts of extra oxygen needed,
you can have a tank installed in your new cab tractor. Doctor's orders and deductible too.
and likely some implements too!
Yup. I heard it here....:dance1:

Jim, so glad to hear you are better. 20 lbs off is great too. Now you're light enough on your feet to go dancing regularly.

Hope you keep on feeling better and better.

How is your Immune system? Mine is shot from the Chemo and that's why I kept getting sick. Now I get IVIG treatments and have not been sick since.

Great news Jim. Glad to hear it. Still in my prayers.

Murph, I'm adding you to my prayer list.
hugs, Brandi

Sounds like good news, Jim. And I'd like to lose 20 pounds. In fact, I'd like to lose 50 pounds, but not the way you had to do it.

Bird, I'm convinced that another 30 lb off would be totally therapeutic and help my COPD immensely. It also will help my poor circulation and swollen legs. At this age, I need to stay below 200 lb.

Murph, I'm sure the chemo is putting a strain on my immune system, but it is doing me so much good elsewhere that it is hard to think badly of it. I'm just really happy with my care and meds right now. If the chemo takes away my appetite, I won't complain.
