Our three eldest sons are in collegians at TCU and UTD. I have been attending band-related events for more than 10 years.

Monday was a bit rough in terms of fatigue, but things are returning to normal. Still no nausea, and my digestive system has thankfully reset itself.

Sleep has been impacted slightly by the decadron pre-med, an expected consequence. There has been no nausea, but there have been no bowl movements either, so I am taking 17g of MiraLax daily. <br><br></p> <br><br> <p><a href="september11news.htm"><img src="images/back1.gif" alt="September 2011 News" Border=0 width="66" height="35"></a> <a href="november11news.htm"><img src="images/more1.gif" alt="November 2011 News" Border=0 width="66" height="35"></a> <br><br></p> </blockquote> <p></td> </tr> </table> </center> </div> <div align="center"> <center> <table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"> <tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#9BCCF3"> <p align="center"><font size="2" face="Arial"><b><a href="index.htm">Home</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp; |&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="news.htm">News</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; |&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="contact.htm">Contact</a>&nbsp;&nbsp; |&nbsp;&nbsp; <a href="links.htm">Links</a></b></font></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="100%" bgcolor="#3999E7"> <p align="center"><font face="Arial" size="1">Copyright 2011 by Jerry D Kline.
