I'm back... but I'm not alone

Hey kids and kittens,
I had a WONDERFUL cross-country trip, got back to Pittsburgh last night. What a beautiful country we live in! Pittsburgh - Wheeling - Columbus - Cincinatti - Louisville - Nashville - Memphis - Little Rock - OK City - Amarillo - Albuquerque - Flagstaff - Phoenix - Yuma - San Diego... what a trip it was! Pics will be posted soon, I promise.
One unexpected thing was about a week before I left, the beast decided to come back. I managed to get on Verapamil and got trex pills (damn doc and insurance won't cover nasal sprays or STATdose, at least not more than 3 doses per month) before I left, plus I had my melatonin with me. My friend Jay got the lovely experience of seeing me get a K-7.5 before I left San Diego. He told Dave that it really freaked him out to see me like that. Of course, he's telling this to the man who has seen me get a K-10 before...
Anyway, I'm home to my O2 tanks, my favorite supporter, and access to you wonderful folks, so the beast can go fuck himself. Hopefully I'll get some good sleep, and thanks to my job at Starbucks, I have just a little access to caffeine, which is usually a decent abortive for me.
Anyhoo, just checking in here, saying hello, venting a tad and keeping the faith here. Hope you're all well and PF!
Joe

It sounds like you had a great time, beast excluded.
Sorry it's back, hang in there, Joe.

Hey Joe! Good to see posting again. Sorry to hear about the beast hitching a ride with you on your trip. I've done the coast to coast drive thing, but was in a rush and couldn't stop to see the sights. Hope you got some great pictures.
PF Wishes

Glad to have you back but sorry that the beasy hitched a ride. 
I'd kill to do a trip like that. All these Ferriners that make it and write about it get to me now and then.

reminds me of that Johnny Cash song..."I've been everywhere"
" I've been everywhere, man,
crossed the desert bare, man
I've breathed the mountain air, man
I've traveled, I've done my share man....
i'VE BEEN EVERYWHERE."

What a fantastic trip Joe, I'm so envious, and all those people you could have met up with.. even Frank!! LOL
I'm going to Amarillo in Jan/Feb so I can't wait to hear what you thought of it and see the pics (amongst the others too)
I'm glad you're back though, I've missed you and thought of you often

Glad you had some great travels. That always refreshes the spirit. Sorry the beast decided to tag along, but doesn't sound like he spoiled the fun any.
Peace bro,

Oh Christ....the gay one is back.....LOL
Im glad your trip was better than mine, Bro.......mine was non stop.
Ive made up for that by flying around the country meeting clusterheads.
You made the trip I wished I did.
Good to have you back, Bro!

It is up to YOU to educate yourself and then help your doctor plan your treatment. If you just sit down in front of your doctor and say "make me better" you are setting yourself up for a great deal of pain.
