HI Chico, I have been following your posts for around a week now and I am extremely impressed at the information you had provided to the forum. Yep, I saw the "REALITY" pic the day before my cruiser sank. So to say the least, I have had a big wake-up call. So, in the meantime, I will continue with my regimen and add some of the advised items I have picked up from our members. Thanks for all you do for us.

Was married to a pharmacist for 25 years. My current wife had been a certified psychiatric nurse in state mental hospitals for 30 before being forced to retire after her brain aneurysm surgery in 2010. My cousin Greg has been an ER doc for 55 years. The guy in New Jersey who was the horn section leader in the 13-piece, FIVE HORN blues band I founded and led for 7 years is a biggie at J&J with Ph.D.'s in pharmacy, chemistry and pharmacokinetics...plus he's got a law degree!!!
I do ALL my research and have retained a lot of knowledge. In addition, I've had 35 general anesthesia procedures done in the last 18 years. No kidding. Yeah, some were minor (trigger fingers, wrist cysts, etc.) but then there was two shoulder scopes, four knee scopes, a hip replacement, two spinal disk laminectomies, two spinal fusions and then the knee replacement. So combine all the knowledge I gained or can tap into in minutes plus all my life experiences with ops and rehabs...well...putting it on the Forum is both cathartic and fulfilling. I like sharing but I always do my homework.
I've got about 30 discussions out there. Click my name, Discussions and then View All. There's lots of topics I've written about. I hope they help.
