12. I went into this with PTSD and depression. Zoloft has helped.

I was referred to as "the poster child for PTSD." I'm happy I excel at something.

I lost 40lbs and have kept it off. I weigh the same as I weighed in 1969.

My diet revolves around 2 to 3 cans of 2Cal delivered through my feeding tube. I also make a meal or two. I made beans and greens, and that has fed me for three days. I like cheese. Cream cheese spread on WW toast is my comfort food. Cream cheese mixed with smoked salmon brings a tear to my eyes.

If your friend is a veteran, remind him the VA is worth a visit. All treatment, medicine and 2Cal is free, if related to my Cancer. The VA saved my life.

Try to get your friend to go for a walk with you. Make it a habit. The "Wacky lady" is welcomed to join in.
