I drop in here now and then, check for interesting threads, and avoid any that might be a personal trigger.... avoiding cancer forums in the mornings in particular, as it can ruin an entire day. This...
Most lay people are unaware of the difference between sedation and general anesthesia. It all means the same thing to most of us. The MCI, I've come to know much more recently. Thanks...
Makes me want to dig out the " Les Mis" CD... the original, with Colm Wilkinson....
Rocky, thank you for taking the time to let us know of your status, and what an amazingly lucid and compassionate post it is. Admittedly I did not know how to respond, as I'm sure many of us were...

Good news on your PSA aleph. And yes, venlafaxine has been a lifesaver, esp having had to deal with more than one cancer. Very stressful times. I'm becoming accustomed to the drenching sweats and...
