My Story:
Not much to tell really...been through the mill a couple of times, so I admire anyone who takes what life can deal out and comes back laughing at it.

Let's see...I had a tumor removed from my chest wall back in 75 or so, small one...only about the size of a quarter...it was benign. Then did a trio of bowel resections, and still have about 12-13 inches of large intestine left. Then, went and had a brain tumor removed...this one was impressive...about the size of a grapefruit - benign again. Snagged a heart attack - a real beauty too...about 25% of my heart was affected adversely, then finished off with Lung Cancer - back in '93...cost me half a lung, but I survived. Can't wait to see what's next :P.

So, now I help others deal with life's challenges, and in turn they help me deal with my CFS, Fibromyalgia, COPD, and Emphysema too boot.

My one remaining tool is humor, which I wield like a Samurai Warrior uses his sword.

As they say, "Never take life too seriously, you'll never get out of it alive".

Take Care,

Jim
