    Criag and Nan. You are both

    Criag and Nan. You are both in my thoughts and prayers.

    Yes

    hope nana gets better too.  She is going after it.

    im not even fighting cancer and have been out of treatment sincd November - that's no good.

    but I'm chasing and fighting all the thing I've been fighting.

    so surgery next week....next up would be lung...then hopefully back into treatment - but the meter is running and these other delays have cost me and I worry about more spreading.

    hopefully some success as I try.....if they dont...I don't know.

    going to be starting new drug - LINZESS.  Supposed to help bowel nerves relax to facilitate "going".  It's new and just recently advertised on tv and released to public.  Nobody wants me to go thru impaction again so I hope this works.

    the key is eliminating or reducing the narcs I'm dking now.  Narcs are hard on bowels and bladder.  How I loathe them so...

    Supposedly this lung surgery gets the pain pump installed in body and directly into spine.  This way the new memds mix with the spinal fluid and you don't have the mitigating factors, such as the constipation that comes from the pills themselves.

    so that would be good news:)

    ill carry on best I can and will think of nana as well as I've been doing.

    thanks guys!

    You are certainly in many peoples prayers and good thoughts. 

    I hope this pump works well for you in helping keep that pain at bay without compromising your bowel and bladder habbits. 

    I know you feel the love, but we still want to tell you. Craig, you're loved and cherished.

    Thanks Sue

    this is actually the endoscopy procedure.

    in 3 weeks we meet with pain surgeon for evaluation....then hopefully I'm a good candidate and we schedule the pain pump surgery.

    just didn't want you to worry needlessly...my plate remains full...at least my hospital plate...my food plsaate remains mostly bare.nibbling more sinice I got home but that pain robs appetite.

    thanks for support sue!

    My thoughts

    and prayers are with you.  You already know that we all walk with you.  It's a wonderful thing really to have all your friends holding you (even if it's in cyber space).
