Hi Jeffrey,
Thanks for the good wishing for my job-hunting family members.
My husband is keeping busy with a few research projects he has going on, but a job is the goal.
How are you doing?

Hi Cindy,
I have a feeling they are all going to leave almost at once. My daughter is getting married next year and my oldest son will probably move out when he finds a job. That only leaves Micah, who is 16 and I suspect he may want to go away to college in two years.
How are those knees? Did you ever find anything helpful at all?
Karen

Hi Wendy,
Thanks for the good wishes.
How are things going for you? Any help with the pain levels?

I had 4 years of irritable bowel back in the mid 1990s, but otherwise, no bowel problems. I keep wondering if I was on the verge of full-blown AS when I started the NSD and managed to forestall it. I suspect I'll never know.
In any case, I'm still not 100%, though ending the NSD didn't cause the slightest perceptible change in my symptoms.
It's all very confusing to me.

Hello Karen,
Mateo is doing fine... now 2 years and almost 3months. He is a walking, talking machine. Most words are in Spanish, but learning to talk with his grandma in States over Skype now.
Keep on Kicking Karen, you definitely have the spirit in you to do so.
