this is the very best news you could post! You've come a very long

way my friend. Next thing I know you'll be posting while on your

road trip up to Alaska.

years. We've traveled extensively to Oregon and California but

always for medical reasons. This time it's simply for the hell of

it. I have had to have my legs wrapped because of extensive leg and

ankle swelling and get the wrappings changed weekly. But now because

of sharply increased protein the running sores on my legs have healed

and I'm able to wear support hose. 24-7, but I can take them off to

shower. It's about time!

friends she grew up with. We came up here on Monday and I've got a

good high speed internet connection here at the hotel. On Friday we

leave for 3-1/2 weeks in Bonaire, the island next to Curacao and

Aruba where we have a condo. I may be strong enough to scuba dive.

We'll see. But at least we can snorkel and Joy can scuba dive for

sure. And we can lay around on a beach, eat out, and just get away

from all our medical problems for a while. We'll probably have

intermittent internet service there, but I'm really not sure what

will be available. I know there's an internet coffee shop near the

condo at least. I'll just have to see when we get there.

Good for you Joe and Joy!

So glad to hear that you are able to do these wonderful things! When

I 1st joined the group last year, you weren't doing so well. I love

reading your posts Joe, and it is absolutely heart-warming to hear

of how well you are doing now. I know it's been a long, hard

road...but you've been a real encouragement to so many of us. I wish

you all the best, and a wonderful vacation with your sweetie...Luv

and hugs, Deb :-)
