I've had a bad winter and until today was feeling pretty stressed.  In
November I had a car accident which messed up my right arm for a few months.
In March I had a fall which resulted in multiple fractures in my ankle, and
the acquisition of some new hardware to patch it back up.  ...

Hi gang.  You probably don't remember me.  I am Bob and introduced myself
about a month ago.  I have been just waiting to see if my weekly
methotrexate injections kick in.  I have been injecting it for four weeks
now.  I do notice a fairly significant reduction in overall pain.  ...

Have to go to Oradell, N.J. for some training at Sony for a week.

With as much pain as I've been in with my back the past three weeks, I was
prepared for something really scary to be wrong with my back when I got the
MRI results. The report, which covers a three hour MRI of the Thoracic and

Hello everyone on ASA.  Rosie suggested I pop back over here and spend more
time with you.  It seems I'm always over on AMF, which is my home base ;-)
Anyhow, I'm having some serious inflammation problems, and I was originally
diagnosed with OA (with inflammation), but there have ...

So the seasaon is in full swing and I believe in the magic of baseball and I am
hoping for a double play combo worthy of tinkers and evers (no I am not stoned,
just a baseball fanatic) and chance.... If anyone has a clue about the above
reference I will take you to a game of your ...

Suppose a doctor has an idea to use an already FDA approved drug for a
novel off-label use based on a few rat studies. Without any human
studies at all, he obtains a "single use patent" through the US patent
office for say, all cardiac diseases for a drug which is FDA approved

D Day was 60 years ago today. Please take a moment to think about all
who fought and died at this turning point in WW2, whatever side they
were on. This is likely to be the last 'big' commemoration as the

I am at Megan's  using her computer which leaves me without my file cabinet and
my address book.  I will be home tonight or tomorrow morning and will e-mail
you then.

On June 8, I will be having surgery to repair a torn rotator cuff, left
shoulder.  Right shoulder was done several years ago in Florida.  Think
this one will be easier because at that time I also ruptured the bicep
tendon.  Don't have that now.  Prayers appreciated.

Is this real?   I have taken this now for 3 days.  I am a nervous wreck
More like an overall sadness and the worst is the anxiety.  But by mid-day
the anxiety is gone and I think about what is going on but don't get so
overwhelmed by it.  Does it work  in 3 days?

Just talked to Nick and have a Donna update.
She had a four hour surgery where the knee had to be completely replaced.  It
went well but there was a lot of detached material just floating around.  She
is in a lot of pain and starts PT today but they do think it was a successful

Until I get Outlook Express working again (I'll let you know when I
do), I am now using Netscape.  Course, I don't have any of my email
