I should have announced I was armed, dangerous & wouldn't hesitate to shoot.

Jerry and I have a 13 yr old son, who probably doesnt have any recollection of a " healthy " dad.. but before the Viokase, dad would go to bathroom and wed vacate house.. one night son made funny face,, then in a howard koscel(spelling) voice, narrated... and now back to the show.. jaques cousteau and the haunting sounds of the humpback whale..... hes a riot.. I thank the good Lord for him.. he gets me thru!!! OKay dont know why i told that... hed kill me to know that!!!! but i am seeing alot about eyesight problems.. i didnt know anyone else was having vision probs.. we just assumed, since jerry is in his 40s that it was age related.. hes not diagnosed as diabetic (yet). He also shakes bad(like tremors) if he stands for more than 20 minutes.. anyone else with tremors?? we thought maybe the gastroparesis was causing that. well glad to hear you got a laugh jang, but in all seriousness .. that honestly happens !! he gets soooo sick when we travel to docs! but you wont believe how fast they see him after that.. it makes others in waiting room (who are feeling ill) even worse.. it would me.. but i hope you wont have to resort to such antics.. <<grin>>although they are very effective!!! celeste and jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can be from many causes. In any case it's a hellva a feeling. My only suggestion is to put a tambourine in his hand and a collection can at his feet and make a couple of bucks along the way.
