No, I'm not dead, or back in the hospital (though the way I've been feeling, that really doesn't sound like a bad idea).
I just have been feeling, as Acidman would say, "worse than Fido's ass".
I haven't been able to sit in the computer chair for any length of time to even check my e-mail, much less blog; and I haven't been coherant long enough to write anything that makes sense if I could.
I went to see a neurologist the other day to see about some things that may just be side effects of my meds or may be indications of some new problems. He's arranging to get some tests done; a PET scan, a tilt-table orientation test, and a full panel of endrocin tests, and my PCP has arranged for me to have a renal function series to be done too. Needless to say, I'm going to be busy the next few weeks, but at least it seems that the Docs are getting serious about seeing what I really need and what they can do for me.
Hopefully, I'll feel up to resuming regular posting soon, and I really want to let all of you, my internet friends that your prayers and best wishes really are the best medicine a guy can have, and I really do appreciate you all.

You just get better and do what Mamma tells ya and when you feel up it drop by the Rott. We all miss your posts.

Sorry to hear your feeling so crappy.I am sure you will be up and at it soon as you feel a lttle better.We miss you man and look forward to seeing you at the next BlogFest her n Sunny Tampa Bay.
Keep you head up,eat well and get better soon.
So glad to hear from you. Sorry you're feeling so rotten Delftsman. Question everything, sometimes the right drug isn't the right drug and compounds the problem. Doctors treat symptoms and will readily add one more 'medication', often this is masking what the real problem is. Having been there, the Acidman's description fits well. Get well soon.
