Nice truck I appreciate how hard it is to work on these things after battling the big 'C'. For me it was the months of chemo after the surgery that knocked me for six. Good luck with the build and I'm sure it won't be the last

Since the previous post, I found out that the Parkinson's diagnosis was not correct. Found out last Friday that I have MS.

Sorry to hear about that. I hope that the type of MS you have isn't too serious and I wish you well.

Thanks!


Still in the shock mode, trying to wrap my mind around the news. I was given a couple pieces of reading material, as well as several websites to educate myself on what to expect going forward. I'm sure this won't be easy, but there is a lot of recent progress in treating MS. We're still determining what the particular "type" I have, but there are days when I feel pretty good. I'm taking that as a sign things can be good most of the time. My neurologist tells me he's seeing fewer and fewer severe "untreatable" cases. That's all about the improved prognosis after treatment starts... Think positive, prepare for the worst, hope for the best, and keep my chin up.

I'm sure you are in shock, however try to keep away from the internet and just go by what your specialist says. IMHO there is too much 'misinformation' on the net, especially with regards to medical things. I found that staying positive is the best thing along with support from family and friends made a massive difference when I was diagnosed.

As you say, "keep your chin up" and I wish you well

BENJI

1987 Toyota 4x4 Van- BENJI

So roughly 2 and a 1/2 years ago I happened upon this stray... abandoned in some guys yard. I put an ad out for a 8" Toyota diff and got a call from some guy asking if a 4wd van rear end would work... I was intrigued, so I went to take a look! When I got there I saw a neglected yard mutt...
