Hi All, just checking in to acknowledge the conclusion of the fourth year since that 32-hour surgery. It is also now also two years since the conclusion of 28 sessions of FSR.
Life is good. Extraordinarily good. The few deficits I have (dry eye, chronic cough, minor swallowing issues, and occasional vocal issues) are all minor in comparison to struggles that many people have. They simply require very modest changes in behavior. Nightly use of Systane or Refresh in my eye. Almost always carrying water or soda to drink to minimize the coughing that *will* occur.
In the scheme of things, these issues are not worth mentioning.
Life is good. To give an example of how good, while trying not to brag, on Wednesday, the anniversary of surgery beginning, I was in DC for a meeting with the White House regarding veterans data. It has been an exceptional week to acknowledge this anniversary.
Thanks to all here who have supported me and who support each other.
