No - Eccles(iastes?) - I got that this is a before photo. And this is the you that was YOU for most of your life, so that is how we will know you. Not the artificially puffed up caricature of the normal you.
Not that the description of the present you is not valid, but I don't think of that as the you that your genetic makeup created.

Do you remember Mary from Tierrasanta? She also was on this board until incapacitated beyond typing and sitting up by her spine met. She was constantly championing the idea that we need brain MRIs even if we don't have symptoms. This advice was why I went to my med onc and got on a screening schedule for brain mets. The third scan was the charm - found the mets without my showing ANY symptoms.

Keep up the conversation - what do you enjoy these days? Movies on the tube, books, visitors, getting out?

My back yard looks like the Cascade Mtn range in miniature. The moles have created huge mounds between 6 and 10 inches deep. They are full of little rocks from under the grass and garden as they tunnel. I take care of a couple of the piles each day so my hubby can mow the grass this weekend! Don't know why the little creatures decided to come to our house, but it looks like the whole clan moved in! One way for me to get in some sunshine and accomplish a little somthing ... ;)
