I'm at work and very busy. They must have a special on surgery today. I read your responses before work and they helped pick me up. Thanks, I can always depend on you guys. I don't have much time so I'll talk specifics later at home. As in many cases I've traced some of my problems back to myself. I still have to understand that "being better" isn't the same as "being all better". I may spend the rest of my life being better but, must accept not being all better the rest of my life. Do you guys also have problems with that? Maybe working in the medical field so long has me comparing to many surgeries and injuries. They heal and the person moves on. With us, although a tuff pill to swallow(no pun intended) it's a life of adjusting and controlling the issues. Hey, could be worse, there are surgeris that don't make things better. We could have to empty an Osteomy Pouch a few times everyday. I forgot to mention, one of those medications is to offset the sexual side effects. Don't read any further if you might be offened. The side affect for that one is, If, I maintain an erection for an extended time, like 6 hours, I must call for medical help and rush to emergency room. My wife and I have had all kinds of laughs thinking of jokes. She's had a few friends offer to come over to help. Can you picture the intake nurse asking what the problems was? Do I show and tell? I'm sorry, it makes me laugh thinking of it. If, you think I'm bad, you should hear my wife. Don W
