21months 3 weeks and numbers are ok -not great but stable! feeling better and its time to get on with living, get out of hermit mode! I reconnected with an old girlfriend I knew 42yrs ago- she is flying down tommorrow and we are going to drive around florida- visiting her friends and my older son- havn't had a vacation forever so WTF I'm going! it should be fun and I need this, I finally feel up to traveling and whatever else happens! lol! like I said she is a girl I went with when we were teens- I always call my transplant my do-over in life- now I get a double do-over! hope all goes well

Hey Mark! Great stuff.....get out there and have some fun.....all this sickness thing gets to be a pain in the arse after a while. :-) If you are dropping by Ft. Lauderdale make sure to visit Himarshee....http://www.himmarshee.com/about/ their whole yellow tailed snapper is absolutely exquisite and I am told their steaks are as good as you will get anywhere. Himarshee rates as one of my top places to eat in the world!
If you go there, get a street table.
Post some pictures as well please!

Marky, (does that bug you? it`s what I used to call my older brother!) that`s absofuckinglutely fantastic. (have you seen recent pictures) . I have some insight for you. When I started feeling better and good to go back to what it was like before I got sick I found that I had forgotten what `normal` was like for me. Normal did not exist. I had to and still have to learn what it should be. I know it doesn`t make sense but I`m afraid it is not like getting back on a horse. The horse hasn`t forgotten. None the less it is enjoyable if you have good humor and a self-deprecating mind set. Have a ball spend a lot of money (always makes me feel good) and report back. BTW I am coming to Fla. this year sometime to Daytona so I will come visit. It`s only `what` 2 hour drive? jeff

How romantic, getting together after so many years. My husband and I just reconciled after being separated 16 yrs so anything can happen. Hope you had fun!!
