> However, he's still dealing with the unresolved issue of the urinary

> His appetite has returned, he's slowly gaining weight, but still weighs
> less that 125 lbs.  His energy and "verve for life" have returned, thank
> goodness.  We went dancing last Wed. night and had a WONDERFUL time.

> Thanks for asking.  We're almost back to normal.
