Dr. Brenda Huenergardt, I have survived three deadly illness's in my active, thrill seeking life style. Therefore at age 55 It has amazed many Doctors that One, I'm still alive, or that I'm not in a wheel chair. Growing up in Southern California I took advantage of all it has to offer. Baseball player until 28 years of age, by the time I was 18- I was in surfer magazine. I did that until the Doc said "your done surfing, The disc in your neck where getting too thin and no more cliff diving Mr. Seaton",So I obsessed on tennis, untill the Doc. once again said"no more serving, your shoulder is blown out. So I obsess on golfing. Until,well get the picture. Surfing all over and in Mexico I picked up Hepatitis, Endocarditis, Diverticulitis surgery with a colostomy, Cryptococcal Pneumonia, Hep C, skin cancer. Severe DDD, Arthritis in my spine, neck.. Dr. Brenda H. It wasn't untill I saw you, I GOT hope, and a man without hope isn't a man. So I hear your down,so buck up,little buckaroo.Craig
