      Hi ya’all, well, i hope my post ” Will” post this time, i tried earlier but reCAPTCHA wouldnt let me, huh, i thought it was ONLY my computer that MRF has a hard time recognising me as NOT a robot or a Spam threat, now its my phone, just great…
      I digress, im good other then the Nerve pain that has come back since starting back up on Nivo, being almost 40 days without it, my bodys Nerve pain was subsiding quickly to really nothing! These pains are severe when i wake, not so much through the day. Double up on the Naproxine time!! Stronger cups of Joe & im good!..im anticipating Novembers “surgery”, (Right Lung) it gives me the creeps thinkin about it but its gotta be done!..
      Ok folks, just puttin out a wire to let you know im alive! Well, atleast thats what iv heard…

          Hi Mike

          Hope you are well, and good luck prepping mentally for the coming surgery, am hoping and will pray that it goes well. Now i just wonder how many captchas i will need to answer to be able to post this (and we dont even have crosswalks in the UK but zebra crossings so they make it difficult for me!!!)

                  Hi Mike! Been thinking about you a lot as November approaches and the surgery date looms near but I know you’re going to do great! I’m sure you positive attitude will at least help propel you through the worst of it and we’ll all be cheering for you! 

                  Take care!

                            Good plan, including the feel-good dose! Glad you are telling people what you need. We'll stay outta your pre-op room too, but you know, of course, we'll be good-vibing you all the damn day.
