Thanks, wait! I am recovering, though more slowly than I'd hoped. I'm taking care of myself by strictly following the dietary instructions I've been given. Four to six snack-like meals a day instead of my customary two meals. As close to no fat as possible. No more wine or beer with dinner.

Sucks a lot of joy out of life, but the alternative is unthinkable, so I do what I have to do.

I just hope that the result will eventually mean regaining at least some of my energy and vigor. Right now, that's not really happening. Sigh.
