    Default Skiffin16 Update..


    Just wanted to thank everyone for the thoughts and prayers for Shelley and myself most of last year..., that Whipple was a bear.

    But with the surgery in December, all is well to date, and hopefuly I'm done with everything health wise for another 30 years or so...

    Gaining a few pounds back, enjoying life.., which includes fishing of course..., and my beautiful wife and life...

    trick.

    Thanks everyone..

    Harold, I lost 97# in all.., gained about 20 back since December, LOL. I dropped a few clothes sizes for sure, but and XL works best as I like them loose.. Depends on the shirt. I dropped from a 44 down to a 34, but I'm at a 36 now..

    I want to stay where I'm at now.. I've been riding my bike about 40 - 50 miles a week, getting strength back.

    Good new to hear John. You have gone through one "heck of operation" that many
    do not attempt - had one friend do it 22 yrs at Baylor in Dallas.........She said would
    never do it again...........
    Went on to become cancer survivor - see boy graduate from high school, see children
    mary and become grandmother.......................to me it was worth it..............
    Same for you my friend.............you are doing great.. there is light at end of tunnel
    and its not a "friggin train"
    Congrats

    On another note..., I just got the results of a recent CT today from having gone through STGIII SCC Tonsils Cancer in January 2009... Four types of chemo, 35 daily rads sessions of sixteen weeks...

    Six years post treatment, complete remission...

    Lookin good John, glad to see your doin better !!
    The finest gift you can give to any fisherman is to put a good fish back, and who knows if the fish that you caught isn't someone else's gift to you?"
