I definitely will, right now just trying to get out of the house more and enjoy this life I have. Because sometimes I go weeks without leaving and find it hard to get out on my own.

Aaron,
I had something similar in that I was very ill for four months with an infection in my spine. I was bedridden for much of it. I wasn't able to drive. I wasn't able to walk much, so I just vegetated around the house, watching TV, and sitting here at the computer. It was the unknown that bothered me the most. I was depressed, and thought I might check out of this hotel called earth, if I didn't improve in my health soon.

I did recover. I did get back on my feet. I did conquer the dark side of my life. It certainly wasn't easy, but I know it can be done.

Praying for you my friend.

Doug

Sgt Olivas,
I am in the Salem area as well. I have connected with four Salem area people so far who want to get together. I will keep you posted on further developments. Just connect with me so we can do that.
