Still Alive!!!

Hey Guys!  Sorry I haven't been around lately.  Had to work through some Medical Problems.  I had a pretty big scar at the end of April.  Got up at 5am to use the bathroom, one minute I was taking care of busness, the next thing I knew I was on the floor.  I woke up a few seconds later, with one of the worst pains in my lower back.  When I hit the deck, I fell backwards and landed right on the edge of the bathtub.  So I went to the emergency room, I thought I broke something in my back for sure, the Pain was a 15 on a 1-10 scale.  The next thing I knew they ordered a MRI of my chest.  Which I thought was weird, seeing it was my back that was killing me.  What I didn't know was they wanted to findout why I Calapsed.  Well they did.  "Pulmonary Embolism" (Blood Clot) in my left Lung!  I had a 4 day stay at the Hospital.  I'm on a Blood thinner now, and everything seems to be going well.

But the weight seems to be coming off pretty steady.  I feel awesome!  Another reason I'm not around as often is because I'm not a Home Body anymore.  I'm up early, and usually out for most of the day.  I will try to poke my head in a little more often.  

Hope this update finds you all Well.  Talk soon.

Rocko~~

Well Thank you for the Update of lately. I have lost your number and was beginning to wonder the worst after no replies from notes sent your way. But I'm releived to hear the good news.  We just got back from Titusville, Daytona Beach & Cocoa Beach. Saw my 91yo Grandfather, did some Shagging at the Band Shell before the Saturday Night Fireworks. Saw the Shuttle lift off! Amazing!! And took a 4 hour Free Cruise on Sunday. Yes life is getting better as we get thinner. Mike

I haven't been here much either Rocko, but I'm glad you are ok.  It is scary when such things happen, but I praise God it was caught in time!  Glad too you are keeping busy and getting the weight off. This is sure an adventure isn't it?  Keep up the good work, and look forward to knowing you better! blessings, Tami
