      From LindaPoet Monday

      Happy Birthday, if a little late. I'm doing ok, and seem to be having some good results with the herbal treatments and kidney function, and blood sugar levels. I feel a bit better. I have a stress test next Thursday, and I will have the cardiologist check the side of the carotid that is supposedly blocked. If there is any blood flow there I will delay the surgery to give the oral chelation a chance to work. I am feeling things that tells me it is beginning to.

      From calydusty Sunday

      Happy Birthday! I am 54, so you are still in your 40s! Sounds like a good job and you were very lucky to get it (I should be so lucky)! My Dad is doing better everyday and wanting to go home (grumpy old fart), target date is Wednesday, we have a caretaker who will help as long as he needs it and take pressure off of me, I can visit as a daughter not helper! Take care and be safe Love Becky

      Congrats on the new job, what are you doing? I need to look for work, but can't as of yet. Jim is doing ok, needs more physical therapy for 8 more weeks, 3x a week - some at home some at a facility! I am so pooped from everything in life right now! How are you doing? Love Becky

      From LindaPoet July 17

      Congrats on the job. I know you will be ownderful in it. Go for surgery in the morning, and then take a proactive stance in my own favor. The doctors won't tell you what you need to know if it does not kick back to their precious drug producing corporations, or lead to them practicing the "art" of surgery. why would a surgeon tell me anything that would prevent surgery? His job is to cut into people.
