I still plan to go to Tracy's every year and will probably build a RV-12 someday. This is such a disappointment because I feel so healthy; my weight is down to 169 lb and I'm riding dirt bikes nearly every weekend plus I'm building a 40' x 60' workshop. But I give thanks to God everyday for my blessings and know the He will be taking care of me.
