ahhhh...

Memory Lane...

How's things Nikko?

I should have a PET scan in the spring... but my 1st annual colonoscopy in November turned up a polyp that was non-cancerous!

I have some residual chemo side-effects my doctor informed me that I may feel for the rest of my life.... better than the alternative, however!

ORCHID!!!

It's been awhile!

My boys are great. One has now passed me up height-wise. The other two are pulling up on me. Won't be long. The testerone teams some nights <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

Hugs to you both... updates?

Cali

I think sometimes about all the pain in the world. I hope we can ease that here, even if only a little bit.
