<DIV>Thanks for the report, Steve. I admire your attitude, and that you're
getting back to exercise, which does so much to help the immune
system. Regarding "it will never get better": I'd love you to read the book
<EM><U>Remarkable Recovery</U></EM>. One of the authors is Hirschberg. its many
stories illustrate that "all is possible."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Blessings on your journey. <EM>Pura vida de verdad.</EM></DIV>
