Dad -- you're right, none of this sounds good at all.  Forget the HIV meds, and tackle to biggest stuff first.  I'd get the bypass as quickly as you can.

Also, have you asked the docs about all the GI problems (nausea, cramps, etc.)?  You might not have HIV-related wasting, but some sort of undiagnosed GI issue.

Please keep fighting.

Hey Bob,

Damn, you've really been through the ringer lately.

There isn't much I can say except I will be sending lots of healing energy your way and will keep you in my thoughts. I hope things begin to smooth out for you.

I agree with Peter, tackle the big stuff first, worry about the meds later.

HUGS,

Mark
