Guest guest Posted August 30, 2010 Report Share Posted August 30, 2010 DonNow stop with that - I'm getting older!!! LOL I'm older than you are by a couple of months and after spending over a week in Vancouver, I'm actually dreaming of moving over there, just like I did when I was 20. However, I also remember that I only spent a year in the big city before it was too much for me. But, still - I can't help thinking how much closer I could be, to help with getting the message out about HepC.Gloria Hi Debora I have passed smaller stones in the past - not very often. This is the biggest so far I think, and the first one to give me so much discomfort [pain]. This is the first one they have had to mess with. Actually, I dont think I have ever had to see a doc about it before. I hope this isnt a sign of worst to come. I am getting older, and I know that the HCV does wierd things to our bodys. Thank you for the good stuff blast. I need that sometimes, myself. :-) love don in ks From: truthseeker103 <truthseeker103@...>Subject: [ ] Re: just walked in the door - Im BOCK Date: Saturday, August 28, 2010, 9:07 AM Geez Don, Maybe next time you plan a vacation, you should use a travel agent. I'm so sorry to hear about your stones. I hear they are so painful.Do you have stones frequently or is this a new thing?I'm blasting you with healing love and happy vibes. Keep us up on the Don.
