New Member "Good"

Sharing my Hubby's adorable face.

Update on Doc Hawk
I spoke with Doc today to see how he was doing. He continues to have considerable pain from the surgery...triggered by BM's.

Hello, All My Friends
Just wanted to bring you up to speed with our situation. We are spending most of our days, running from doc to doc or hospitals, so I haven't talked to JBG for a few days.

"Is it Kind? Is it True? Is it Necessary?"
I'm stealing this from a political site I frequent (where the infighting is about ten times worse than anything here, I might add). This is a "rule" set forth by one long time member. Before posting, ask yourself "Is it true? Is it kind? Is it necessary?". If the answer to any one of those questions is "no", then don't…

Dexamethasone Warning
For those who have been following my never ending blood clot saga, I have an update. Steve's ultrasound ruled out a blood clot in the leg. This came as a surprise to all doctors involved.
