BEP I got put on VIOXX because to the doctor 4800mg of motrin a day was exessive... I agree with him though it may have been a little to much.

I wonder if my Dad still has great Granny's liniment recipie that stuff workes great and smells like peppermint.

I know my Granny used to doctor me up with all kinds of things and they seemed to work just fine, but I don't miss the castor or cod liver oil. I think all doctors nowdays need the oldfasioned doctoring my granny gave out, I think they would be alot more understanding. As well as better practiconers.

Figured an update was needed so as not to leave you all wondering.

I have seen the two specialists, one told me it was all in my head, and the other one is convinced its all in my head and thats the problem lol. I have been sceduled (sp?) for a variety of tests so I await to take them one is an allergy test and the other is an ENG (something to do with my inner ear fluid flow).

The medicine I was put on for the joint pain worked... but it has been pulled from the market (VIOXX). So the pain has come back into the picture, still waiting to get a replacement therepy. Never ending fight with this medical buisness.

My wife has recovered except for a few over doing it occasions. She is in good spirits and has returned to singing in the church choir.

The wreck she had while back has been sorta resolved. The insurance company totaled the truck, but we bought the salvage since I can fix it for under $2000. The lien company on the other hand is completely confused as to what to do about it. I sent them the insurance check and they don't know what to do with the money. So I've been argueing with them since this all began.

Sincereheart... I have read Job twice and it has helped me alot. Thank you for the help.

The wife and I appreciate all the prayer and passing thoughts that have been given for us. We have given many prayers for ya'll in return.


Thank you,

Jim

ok so am I really older than dirt? I'm only 29.... I guess my kids are right... he he he

Well I knew it wouldn't be long before someone stood up to that Moore fella. I am currently trying to find a local copy of this documentry to see if it is what it says it is. There is a trailer on the site that makes the movie look good.

check it out

well where do I begin.........

I have seen one specialist so far, still waiting to see 2 more, but the medicines I have been given seem to be working.

My wife is healing just fine from her surgery, and it seems that her mental well being is doing good.

We are trying to buy the house we are currently renting so alot of our energies have been devoted to planning the restoration.

My wife had an accident in her truck on the 10th of Sept. She was shakken but unharmed. The lady she hit went to the hospital to be checked out, but she is fine (praise God!!!!). Now we are stewing with the possibility of loosing her truck due to insurance company totaling it out. That wouldn't be good, especially since it is mainly cosmetic damage.

We are weathering the storms life is throwing at us. We wanted to thank you for your prayers.

Love,
Jim

Zorro the gay blade... I love that movie

Stargate

Cats (at least my two) are good bed/seat warmers. They also play with the dog. Keep the floor clean from toddler food left overs, and exterminate anything in the house that doesn't belong.


Cats are not good for scaring off the door to door salesmen. That also are bad at leaving my socks alone.

But over all we love them.

Matchstick Men

I have the whole collection of Bloom County right up until the name changed. Steve Dallas was one of my favorite characters.

I'll confess....

I'm a crier, I cry during the news, I cry in church, I cry when I read a good article, I CRY DURING THE NATIONAL ANTHEM, I am not ashamed of it, an neither should any other man. It is not a sissy emotion, it is a good way to express ones deepest joys/hurts.

So come on fellas jet the flood gates open, you'll feel better.

I'll Second that vote!!!

Equilibrium

here is my proposed habitat for the individuals.

it is an intersting place, nice tropical weather, and the goverment alredy owns the land. The chemicals there should be benificial to them.

That looks like a good place for some folks, Coyote.
By the way Johnston Atoll was fortified durning WW2. At the time it was believed that Japan would try and take the Atoll. All Japan did though was bomb the Atoll.

A bit if info on the choice of Islands... Johnston atol was until 2000-2001 the chemical weapons destruction site for the U.S. military. I figure there may be just enough "residue" there to keep them all happy.

I finally got an appointment with a doctor.

Alot of blood was taken. Reffereals to specialists were made, and the Doctor was very helpful. Stage one has begun. I spent over an hour with the Doctor, and got half way down my grocery list of things that are wrong.

It looks like I may have rheumitoid (sp?) arthritius, just waiting on the blood test results. If its not rheumitiod it could be osteriod arthrtius, but there will be a bone specialist in my future. The outlook either way is a dreary one filled with pain. It doesn't bother me though, the prayers I've gotton so far have worked so much.

My wife's spirits have picked up, and I have the courage to face uncertinity.

I'll update as soon as I can.

Jim
