Health update

[Road King Cole]

It's been a long process and still a long road ahead. Take it slow.

My available time can be busy, but if there is a way I can help to get you out fishing again soon, let me know. I am sure I could learn a lot from a pro...

I think you guys misread MJ's post or he didn't effectively voice his issues. While the gastric bypass has helped his Diabetes issues, he has so many other new issues going on that, at times he feels he was better off being overweight and still injecting insulin.
He hasn't turned any corner and isn't gaining any ground on his health issues and the doctors really haven't come up with any answers as to what's going on. These issues have lefty MJ sidelined to the point where he cannot work anymore. He cannot get out on his boat unless his son or someone goes in order to do most of the work with regards to getting in and out of the water.
It's a tough situation for sure.

I guess all have the natural tendency to be optimistic and supportive...no doubt our hero, MJ is facing some pretty tuff issues that sound never ending...

Just know all here are thinking about you and pulling for your recovery...a day at the time, MJ...a day at the time...

Thanks everyone!
Cb has it right, there are days better then others, and I know that this was for the better, but I sometimes think it would have been better to be fat and strong, then skinny and sick. I know this is a long road but I get sick of waitting for it.
My job has been great! I am out of work for a year today, and they for the most part payed me for all of it! I just wrote them a letter and got papers from doctor so they will extend my time out, not sure how much longer they will go?? but the pay has stopped at this point but they will hold the job a bit longer.
I hate to jump on the wagon with the rest of the country and go on disability, but I have started the app. for it, I think this is the only way to make?? I most likely able to get on it 5 years ago, but did not want to jump on that wagon, but now i have to.

barnegatV20 Glad you're getting stronger, hopefully you'll be at the raft up so I can properly shake your hand and introduce myself

I would love to go and meet you guys!, but AI would be more a burden to people that want to go and have fun! Hopefully I will get better at some point and be able to go another time?
