Thanks

[Guest guest]

I just wanted to thank everyone for your opinions and advice about

exercising. I have appreciated everyone, whether you thought it was a

good idea or not.

I just joined a little bit ago, so I thought I would write a short bio

of myself. I am 25 years old, live in Utah and currently attending Utah

State University. I have been married to my wonderful wife for four

years and we know have a baby daughter who is almost 3 months old. I was

diagnosed in Nov. of '99 and had surgery on 3/29/99, 20 days after our

daughter was born. I am now back to work and trying to finish up the

classes I missed during surgery. I am also applying for an internship as

an insurance adjuster. Needless to say my life is very hectic right now,

as I am sure all of yours are. I guess you could say we are " living la

vita loca " .

As I have written, I love to be active, especially running and playing

baseball. I talked to my surgeon, who I think is one of the greatest men

to live, and he told me I have to wait a couple of months before I can

start running again, which I will do. I am also planning on taking it

easy for quite some time, I want to be active but I don't have a death

wish. Someone mentioned a syrinx(sp) would be harder to deal with. I was

not diagnosed with one which I am very grateful for.

From reading a lot of your e-mails I know that I have gotten of lucky

with this and thank God everyday for the abilities I still have. Again,

I want to thank everyone for your support, and I look forward to hearing

from all of you.
