> Lar,
Kind Sir,
> Do you take a trace mineral daily supplement?
I take some separate/additional minerals these days, but you have a knack for drawing my attention to the subject, and giving it some though. The ultra-trace minerals are not represented. Things like vanadium. Hmmmm.
My regular multivitamin/mineral is good in all other respects. I use a local brand, one you'd never have heard of, Swiss Herbals. I beef it up with single minerals.
> If so, what brand(s) do you like?
On the single minerals, whatever chelated or fully soluble salt is cheap/on special. My Scots heritage might possibly, one day, be thought of as a health factor in and of itself. Cheap stuff is cheap stuff. I do tend to have a soft spot for Source Naturals brand.
> How bad is the pain these days?
Thanks for asking. I've moderately reduced the oxycodone, and the gabapentin seems to help a lot. Overall, I'm doing much better. It's isn't like I'm stuck with this nuisance pain-generating appendage all the time. I'm starting to think of it as an arm again.
> Is the surgery scheduled yet?
Nope. He only books a month or two at a time, and all they can say is I didn't get on the last lists. I suppose that lets him rejig the lists a bit by prioritizing, but I dunno. They might just not want the hassle.

Ronny boy, how are *you*? Your brief forays into Babbledom these days, you're not your old self. Are you all right?
