So at Thanksgiving, we had my hubby's (my PALS) family here for a big feast. Right before the meal, my brother-in-law was helping me prepare the stuffing and I stated that I really like the Thanksgiving dishes. He replied -- and I'm not kidding--"That's obvious. You have put on a lot of...
I've been here in the past, going back almost 4 years now. I won't go into my history because it can be seen by going through my post history and I'm almost certain typing it all out would break some sort of character limit.
Since about the 20th of February I've been having some troubling...

Hello everyone,
My husband has been experiencing some new symptoms. These started on or about February 3rd. He had blood drawn that day and also did pt. At that time neither us or the physical therapist knew that it was somewhat detrimental to work out too hard. After we left that day, he...
