Dear Friends,

There comes a time when you have to face the facts and as much as I have been fighting, these last turn of events have really set me back. Last I wrote you I had my first drainage and since then had a second drain as well as a surgical procedure. The procedure involved not only drainging me, but also inserted a cathader to allow self-drainage at home. I am pretty much spending my days and nights in bed. It is painful for me to move, breathe, and eat. I feel weak. I have a call into hospice to see if they can help me manage my pain and am waiting to hear back from my new nutrutionist (she has been consulting me for 2 weeks now). Please know that I am not able to respond to emails and if you need to reach me that you can call my cell phone.
