Health was a big issue in my life in May 2006 so I had to go under the knife. Since then, I have recovered the 30 lbs. I lost as a result of that problem. However, my recent regular check-up turned up with another "red flag". I saw a radiologist yesterday at the instance of my doctor. Things are still up in the air, and I will have to wait until that radiologist and my doctor have had time to discuss my new problem before they can tell me the next steps. Although I have not mentioned any specific detail about my problem, I'm sure you get the drift that my new problem is sort of life-threatening. Well, they haven't told me either; that's just my "feel". I would know more perhaps this weekend when I see my doctor again. Meantime, why don't I share with you some nice health quotes which I collected for my own consumption:

Once we get the pain's message, and follow its advice, the pain goes away." -Peter McWilliams, Life 101
