new kind of surgery that reduces the risk of implant deterioration.

200 posts?

I received 200 messages at noon.
"WOW," I thought, "people are writing again."
Then I discovered that only 8 were new, and 192 were from August.
Somehow those 192 got dumped back into ASA. <G> And there may
be more later, since 200 is the max I can receive at one time.

Chief,
Have you officially started collecting names for the ASA Greeting card
list?

Being educated means that rather than fearing the unknown, one seeks to understand it.

OTP Results of bronchoscopy last week

Last Tuesday, they did a bronchoscopy on me. Those are horrible! It's over
fairly quickly tho. Results came back today. Other than fungal infections
(which take 4 to 6 weeks to culture) the consensus was Aspiration of Reflux.
Anybody had experience with that? He's put me back on Nexium and added

Hey Gang,
A young mom from our church, took a nasty fall down a flight of stairs

and has had surgery to remover her spleen and is now in ICU while the
doctors continue to deal with other internal bleeding issues. She has
4 young children at home, so I know they could all use some prayers

Thanks to a water pipe in the ceiling breaking in my rheumy's office, I
can't be seen today. I have one knuckle swollen and painful to use. I was
going to be seen today. She said they have water all over the floor.
Evidently the pipe broke over the weekend and, of course, nobody was in
there. She said to call back in a couple of days and they would try to get

Hi Everyone,
Well I had an appointment with a neurosurgeon the other week who refused to believe that some of the degeneration that he saw in my cervical spine wasn't congenital. I know it isn't because the previous xrays CT scans clearly showed otherwise. Unfortunately, I don't have copies of these to substantiate my claim. The best he could offer me was glow in the dark xrays with some spinal injections and a fusion which he admitted will just make movement more difficult. he didn't think that was a good idea.unless I became desparate.

Spine appears to be itch nerve center
As common as it is, scratching to relieve an itch has long been considered
a biological mystery: Are cells at the surface of the skin somehow fatigued,
in need of outside stimulation? Or is the impulse, and its relief, centered
in the brain?
Perhaps neither one, a study suggests. Neuroscientists at the University of
