Paul, thanks for your recent note! Enjoy the ThinnerTimes cruise--wish I was joining all of you, but just not possible during my "busy season". I had physical therapy in a very warm swimming pool yesterday and all's going well with my rehab efforts.
Ciao!

Hello Paul,
I Just want to say congrats on your success! I also noticed that you had your surgery in Pisa, Italy. In a couple of weeks my husband and I will be traveling down there to visit that area for our 9th anniversary. I was wondering if you could give any tips of places to visit or things to do. Thank you!
Your pictures are amazing by the way! )

Ciao, Paul!
Just a word of gratitude and greeting to a friend who has been so inspiring to me. I finally had my right hip replaced on October Tenth and my rehab, while slow, is going well. (My surgeon held the xray up and proclaimed, "Reverend, you have the femur of a gorrilla!" which might possibly have raised my testosterone level by 100% and certainly made me most happy!) Anyway, I hope all's well for you and just wanted you to know that YOUR successes helped breed my success. God be with you, my friend. I hope all's well with you, your partner, and all the people who you hold special in your life! Ciao and Grazie!

Wow...you've had a busy and fun summer! We've had a pretty good one too, staying busy with company and fun stuff. Going camping next weekend with a bunch of friends. In December we are moving to Alaska as hubby is in the AF. Can't wait...should be a fun journey. We will be there for 3 yrs! Way cool! Anyways...nice hearing from you and hope you will pop in from time to time! huggles!

Thinking of you... haven't heard a peep out of you in awhile! Everything going well?

Thanks for the note, Paul! Sounds like you are having a great summer! Sounds like a lot of travel. Jane and I hope to travel a lot more some day. Right now we're just trying to put both kids through college, but one of these days we will have the money and time to see the world. Right now we are planning on Hawaii again next summer and then possibly a trip to Europe in 2010. Can't wait!

Thanks again for the note!

Hi Paul!
It is real good to hear that you are well and enjoying your new "skinny" life. It sounds like you have been real, real busy. Your Aunt is lucky to have a nephew like you who loves her enough to take such good care of her and show her beautiful places and to even spend time with.

I have been doing quite well myself. It has been about 10 weeks now since surgery and I have already lost 65 lbs.! Amazing! Have gone from size 26-28 to 18-20's and I can even see changes in my body. I can walk without a cane, no insulin shots anymore, and have been walking 1.5 miles in 30 minutes or less.

My oldest son and family came to visit and I was able to play with our grandson who is 2 with alot more ease and significantly less pain in my knees. I had a wonderful time with him. I even lost 4 lbs. in the 4 days they were here!

Life is real good Paul and just to think, it will only get better as time passes.

Take care my friend and please keep me posted on how you are doing and what you are doing in your life.

Ciao Paul!
Really good to hear from you! Had believed you had fallen off the face of the earth! There is nothing in the world like being busy, healthy and happy!
Keep well my friend!
Cheers,
Vim

Hey stranger...hope things are going good for you! Huggles!
