Didn't scroll down and see Dad's and JP's entries since last Thursday.
JP - the LieSmith link has been updated...
Big choices for you right now, although a few years down the road, they won't seem so big in hindsight, so it's good you're not stressing out too much. Being able to come back and work with your boss again is a great option to have... Three years is long enough to leave a job or town with your head high, secure in the knowledge that you gave it a shot, explored all possibilities, and are now moving on...
Dad - Things have been going well for the last 3 1/2 weeks since I started taking Prevacid for the erosive esophagitis. Not one case of acid reflux that I've noticed. My doctor called me a week ago to make sure I was following his course of treatment. I assume he was thinking of me because he got my biopsy results back from the lab. Since he didn't mention them, or give me any new information, the biopsy must have shown nothing bad. A normal case of erosive esophagitis takes about 2 months to heal, according to the prevacid.com website. I figure, with my pretty bad case of it, it'll take me 3 to 4 months, but then I should be 100%. My case is completely reversible, so that's a relief.
H also thinks I've lost some weight recently - the doctor's number two recommendation was "Weight loss critical." My medium-term goal right now would be to get my weight down to 250... Not something that'll happen in a week, though...

Hope you are all doing well! H - see my short post below this one...
