    Yeah--it comes and goes. I think I slept funny last night, and on top of that, I've spent the past two days cleaning the lab, so there's a lot of bending and stretching to put things away. Actually, the worst thing isn't so much that one muscle, it's everything else that's trying to compensate for it.
    At least I don't leave slime trails.

    My friend who's been in the hospital for months in need of a new heart, whom I've posted in this thread about a few times, passed away this morning. I'm so thankful that I got to see him this past weekend and that he was still cracking jokes. He led a very full life, but that doesn't make it any easier that it was cut -so- short.

    I'm pulling hard for all of you and your loved ones who are fighting health battles.

    So sorry to hear about your friend. I too lost someone awaiting a heart transplant. It's rough

    Oh, Badgercat. I am so sorry. That's tragic.
    Live with intention. Walk to the edge. Listen hard. Practice wellness. Play with abandon. Laugh. Choose with no regret. Continue to learn. Appreciate your friends. Do what you love. Live as if this is all there is.

    Badgercat, I'm sorry for your loss. Amazing he was cracking jokes and passed so soon after that.
    Gosh, I hope that's not what we are facing here.

    Thank you all--we only knew him for little over a year (and DBF spent quite a lot more time with him than I did), but he was one of those people who you would feel blessed to have met even only once. I'm 100 miles away from home for work right now--wish I could join DBF, who is at a gathering tonight celebrating our friend's life.

    Mimi, I wish all the best to you and Don. You deserve some good news and outcomes.
