Well I finally got all my teeth removed. They have been rotting away for a couple of years now. Side affect I got from all the wierd meds, diabetes, and remicade treatments. Oral surgen had to do it and they were rotting from the inside out. He said I'll bet you have been sick for a while. When I told him about the many times I have ended up in the hospital, a few times in ICU with wierd infections in my intestinal track, lungs, etc. He wasn't surprised and said you may feel generally better all over in while. He was right. Compaired to what I have been feeling like I feel great! Still get to deal with the ailments I have but I do have alot more energy and have been able to tinker around the house and do a few projects I have wanted to do for a long time.

It has been 2 months and I get my new teeth thursday!! Woo Hoo!!!!

And guess what? we are going to Disneyland ext week!!!!!!!!!!!! haven't been there in 18 years. We are staying there for 6 days and got a 4 day park hopper pass, that way even though I know I will get tired, I got lots of time to see it all and have plenty of space for "down time" Even got a room with a whirlpool bathtub 2 blocks from big D

Wish ya'll could come with us but If I have energy I will post when I can. Econo lodge gives free internet.

Hi Ho.... Hi Ho.... It's off to play I go......

Glad to hear things are on the up-swing for you, Pin! Went to Disney World with Hubby in December again (were there the previous year, too), and loved every minute of it. The park hopper passes were great; we often caught the Epcot fireworks almost every night

Hope you have a fantastic time!

I'll come but I can't do "rides", and I always have ^{_{it's a small world}}...... spinning around in my head for months afterward.

Have fun!

Well, here we are at day 8 and had 2 full and 2 half days down so been a great trip so far!!
Disneyland was great! Indiana, Pirates, Big thunder mountain, Space Mountain, Tiki room, and the Matterhorn Iam felling like I am 12 years old again at times!
Knotts sucked big time. They have wierd rules when it comes to people in a mobility scooter. We left after only 2 hours and will never return.
Got sick at Magic Mountain and had to quit after half a day but got to ride Goliath again and first time in the front seat. OMG! It was intense! Tatsu the flying coaster was a gas. I have worn out my wife and kid now every day but since I get to motor around it helps!
If anyone plans on doing the So Cal vacation I have suggestions that will help.
So far only one big low BS and a few highs, but then those are from the indulgences I have allowed myself. well time for a nap hope all are well and I will post again.
