040547 - 2. Hi Rita,
040549 - ..
040550 - 3. Thanks for your letter, and sorry not to have written earlier.
040551 - We were not visiting Candy and Larry, but probably owe them a
040552 - letter, so by copy will bring them up to date.
040554 - ..
040555 - 4. A few weeks ago, we attended a surprise 80th birthday party for
040556 - the father of Millie's daughter-in-law. It was virtually
040557 - around the corner from your folks' place, so we left the party
040558 - early and paid a long overdue and short visit to your dad and
040559 - mom.
040561 - ..
040562 - 5. Very pleased they seem to be doing well, and are keeping in
040563 - touch. Your dad was a little grumpy about being less in
040564 - command these days, but very grateful for you and Jimmy to be
040565 - there for them.
040567 - ..
040568 - 6. Your dad asked Millie about her situation, and Millie indicated
040569 - she has been diagnosed with recurrence, and so is receiving
040570 - treatments again. There are also some complications due, in
040571 - part, to mix-ups at the hospital. I would send a link, but you
040572 - are not a big fan of details, mentioned in your letter a year
040573 - ago on 030112. ref SDS 2 0001 Needless to say, we are hopeful
040574 - that a new drug Mil is getting will see her through.

110409 - 7. Millie has kept up a strong exercise regimen, and that may have
110410 - helped her fight off the ravages of cancer. The other day I
110411 - called her a "medical miracle." Six weeks ago, we started
110412 - hiking around Lafayette reservoir, about 3 miles. We got up to
110413 - doing 2 - 4 laps, about 6-10 miles, but my knee gave out doing
110414 - the hills, especially going down hill. Had to stop altogether;
110415 - just walking up stairs at home was really painful.
110417 - ..
110418 - Doctor Johnson at Kaiser explained that exercise stimulates bone
110419 - marrow to produce more blood to replace WBC and neutrophils that
110420 - increase immunity system, reported on 030606 1630. ref SDS 4 TT3G
110422 - ..
110423 - Letter to Rita continues...
110424 -
110425 - 8. Glucosamine Chondroitin was recommended by Doctor Boulris at
110426 - Kaiser on 990925. ref SDS 1 3120 However, could not take this
110427 - treatment consistently because the pills are big and very
110428 - difficult to swallow. Recently Millie bought Glucosamine
110429 - Chondroitin from Costco in a liquid form. This solved the
110430 - swallowing problem, so medication can be taken consistently.
110431 - In just 3 or 4 days taking this treatment pain in the knee was
110432 - resolved. We are back to hiking at Lafayette reservoir doing 2
110433 - - 4 laps (6-10 miles per day) 4 - 5 times a week, have not
110434 - suffered recurrence, except on occassion when I skip
110435 - Glucosamine Chondroitin for a day or two. Resuming treatment
110436 - consistently puts me back on the trail at Lafayette. Seems
110437 - "miraculous."
110438 -
110439 - [On 040607 while hiking a Lafayette reservoir explained
110440 - to Millie that she is a "medical miracle" for surviving
110441 - IBC with prognosis longevity of 18 months, and no signs
110442 - of significantly advancing disease. ref SDS 5 0001
110444 - ..
110445 - [On 050421 1252 received inquiry on the Internet about
110446 - working with Doctor Boulris at Kaiser, ref SDS 6 EU5I;
110447 - reported good results solving knee pain with Glucosamine
110448 - Chondroitin. ref SDS 6 5A7W

110453 - effective for mild osteoarthritis (OA), further found

140502 - 9. Eddie finally tracked down David. We are all grateful to hear
140503 - he is doing well as the sheriff of a town in Oregon. When we
140504 - visited my mother and Bob 4 weeks or so ago, she had pictures

140507 - Dave can be proud to have raised such an accomplished family.
140508 - I think that Ed and my mother have talked to Dave. Naturally,
140509 - mother was thrilled to hear from her son.

140513 - can follow up with Ed to get an email or physical address to
140514 - contact Dave.

140517 - 10. My mother is not doing well. They went on vacation to Hawaii a
140518 - month ago, which had previously been delayed several times over
140519 - the past few years due to mother's health. Glad that she is
140520 - now keeping in touch with your folks. When I talked to her
140521 - last week she was planning to call your mom to wish her a happy
140522 - birthday.

170417 - 12. So, thanks again for your letter. Haven't been in touch with
