I don't think I have mentioned just how pleasant it has been for the last couple of weeks to take a shower without having to cover some significant part of my body to prevent it getting wet. I came home from Cedars the first time with a PICC line in my arm for the IVs I was taking every day, so I had to put a giant plastic sleeve over the arm and tape the top when I took a shower. The PICC line stayed in until a couple of weeks after the operation. Then I had an open wound in my belly, and we didn't want to get soap in it (although after a while I rinsed it with clear water after all the soap was rinsed off). Since we stopped packing the wound, however (maybe jumped the gun by a couple of days, but no serious problems), I've been able to take showers without swathes of plastic over various portions of my body. It has been wonderful! Sometimes you don't realize how much you enjoy a privilege until you can't do it.
In general, my health is pretty good. This is the "off" week for chemotherapy and then after a bit of a wait we start radiation combined with a different chemo. Next week we see Dr. Saegal for chemo consultation, then Dr. Nissen for what will probably be a final post-op check-up, and then the radiation doctor on Fiday to work out how we're going to approach the radiation. Little by little, we're getting there.

Alan, Hang in there and do what you gotta do. I admire your tenacity, sir.
Shoes specially made for losing weight are available today and [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]mbt shoes review[/URL][/B] can be quite effective. These shoes have been out for a while and some companies have risen to the top [B]footwear etc[/B] demonstrated that they can provide a quality product to consumers. One [U]discount mbt shoes[/U] such type of these shoes is the MBT Shoe made by a company called Swiss Masai. In case you [U][B]mbt shoes clearance[/U][/B] did not MBT stands for Masai Barefoot Technology. In this write up we want to take a [U]MBT[/U] closer look at these special shoes.
The development and idea behind the MBT shoe design is quite [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] interesting. What the shoe attempts to do is structure the shape of the shoe so [U]mbt shoes review[/U] that it simulates walking on sand. Specifically, the they want to attempt to make it as if you are walking [U]mbt shoes best prices[/U] along the natural sand environment of the Masai in Kenya. Sports trainers have known for quite a while now [U]footwear etc[/U] that working out on dry sand is a great way to get in excellent cardiovascular condition. As you [U]MBT shoes[/U] walk on sand it creates an uneven surface on your feet and it forces you to shift your center of gravity to [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] an unnatural position. Your body compensates for this by using several different [B]mbt shoes cheap[/B] muscle groups in your feet, calves, thighs, and torso that you would not use wearing typical shoes. This is the ideas [U]buy mbt shoes[/U] behind the MBT weight loss shoes and it does seem to [B][URL=http://www.mbtplus.com/]discount mbt shoes[/URL][/B] work for some people.
More specifically, MBT makes several positive claims [U]mbt walking shoes[/U] and benefits from wearing their shoes. They will take muscle groups [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] not normally used in walking and make them active. The shoes will give you a better posture, and a more effective [U][B]mbt discount shoes[/U][/B] gait when walking with or without the shoes. It can [B]mbt sandals[/B] potentially help you with problems you may have with your back, hips, legs, and feet. The [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] shoes can help you recover from injuries to your [B]MBT shoes[/B] tendons, joints, ligaments, or muscles. The shoes are also designed to alleviate tension and stress [U]MBT shoes[/U] on your lower joints.
Another particular claim [B]mbt discount shoes[/B] of MBT is that is you walk one mile in these weight [U][B]mbt sandals[/U][/B] loss shoes it will be as if you walked two miles in ordinary shoes, and you will burn equivalent calories. One thing [B]mbt shoes best prices[/B] is for sure, users find that after the first few [B]mbt discount shoes[/B] times they walk in the shoes their calf and thigh muscles are sore. Also, while you are [U]MBT shoes[/U] just starting to use the shoes they will feel uncomfortable [U]mbt shoes clearance[/U] but that feeling goes away after twenty [U]MBT[/U] minutes or so. Once you get used to the feel of the shoes users find that they can [U][B]mbt shoes sale[/U][/B] walk effortlessly and comfortably. The shape of the sole is designed [U][B]MBT[/U][/B] to make you walk with your back straight and your [B]footwear etc[/B] stomach flat, and your whole stride shortens up and quickens. These are [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] the major effects that owners of MBT shoes [U][B]MBT shoes[/U][/B] experience.
Thanks, Tom. The admiration, thought perhaps for different reasons, is mutual.
