Again, Saying hello after six months have passed!
« on: October 29, 2021, 09:19:17 pm »
Hi, friends,

It looks like my routine to come back to this Forum every six months.
My life has been back to what it was before I got seriously ill seven years ago and I myself am amazed at having gained 15 kilograms since that time.   (I was on the brink of death then.)   Now I understand what my doctors told me when I was diagnosed - science will never stop developing.    I hope everyone is doing well in spite of the epidemic and to those who have been diagnosed recently, I would like to say that things will be all right if you listen to your doctor(s).

Hello, Daniel.

It is nice to meet you. I am new here, but I have read many of your threads. Like ths one, which I found very inspirational.

https://forums.poz.com/index.php?topic=56891.msg675497#msg675497

I (also) live in Kentucky, by the way, but I do not pronounce "five" like the people you talk about in this posting. :-)

Not that there is anything wrong with pronouncing the number like that.

So... greetings from the Bluegrass State!

Hiya Daniel
Glad to know you're doing well.

Life's been back to normal for me also.

And yes, I can attest, that whatever you're going through, listen to your doctors and fight the good fight.

Hi, thank you for your greetings, Jim, Buckland, TONNY 2, and LeftyBowler.

This original posting of mine was posted more than six months ago but I would like to send you greetings anyway.  Sorry I tend to be coming and going with a long time in-between.  I appreciate your kind messages.

OMG  :o
those years sure did fly by!
I always get a little smile when I see your periodic check-ins.  :D :D
I hope these years have been really good years for you, and hope you have many more.

leatherman, thank you.
Eight years has been a long journey and the first three years were really hard but the rest has been really a happy time.  Thank you again for your advice and support.
