Lotech,

Good to hear from you.
I figured you were either out fishing or dancing.
Happy that you found a working combo.
That Oxy stuff just makes me sleepy.

Best,
Jack

Hope you are OK. I've been away from this board for a while, but I remember that we were both going through our initial diagnosis at the same time. I am truly sorry that you have to go through this. I hope the medication is still working.
