Chris,

I'm glad to hear your son has a good independant streak. I'm sure it will
serve him well.

I never got to the motorcyles yet, but I did parasail 4 months after my last
surgery-you should have seen the look on my neurosurgeons face when I showed
him the picture!

I have only been on the thyroid & testosterone. My endo says my cortisols
are low so I tried prednisone for a while. Gained weight & didn't like the
way it made me feel, so I told him I'll take it if I get seriously
sick/injured.

I do have bilateral shunts. They were put in a few hours after my initial
operation-a transphenodial. I developed hydroencyphalitus 3 hours after the
first surgery, and had the shunts done as an emergency surgery.

I haven't had any problems related to the shunts until last week when I
developed a boil like lump over the shunt in my neck. I see a neurosurgeon
tomorrow. Bringing up all kinds of old memories and fears. I hate August!
Original surgeries were in august of '83.

I think your son made a good choice in not taking physics. He's got enough
on his plate without the added pressure of a class like physics.

I wish all the best for your son and will keep him in my prayers.

Mike
