Ralph,

I'm finally caught up on your thread. So many similarities! Our W's must be kindred souls. They are so much alike. I had to chuckle when I saw that you started the 5x5 workout plan - I started it this week, too! Maybe that workout could be the "Official workout of DB!"

Keep posting. It is inspiring to see how you are able to negotiate through this. My sitch is a little more fresh than yours and I'm using your journey as a guide for me.
