    Hang in there.

    There's a reason people say "Pull through" ....they're grabbing the rope to help you recover.

    It is tough for them, Mom had an episode where she reacted to a pain med. Thought they were going to kill her. We apologized to the nurse telling her she really was one of the sweetest people you would ever meet. Nurse said it happens and don't tell her once she came down (family tradition once she was out we told her and picked on her). Good on you though for being nice to them. It has to be tough for them to see some folks suffer.

    Now heal up BITCH! the herd has commanded.

    Ah hell, find me one and I'll sort it out.

    Also have to figure out a way to make it so only you can use it :D

    Speedy - do what Papa said and stop stressing over shit you can't fix right now. It'll work out one way or another and you can't do shit about it, accept that, it's not a bad thing. Fix what you can when you can and keep on moving on. Too many critters need you long term so don't screw yourself over short term. In the meantime stop apologizing and don't stop posting here. Venting is good. Hell, venting is great, that's one reason I love Evelyne, she understands that and lets me do so which saves me from going off on other people (downside is some people don't get she is a total badass and think I'm being mean to her). Post the good the bad and the stupid, it's all good, we'll respond in kind :crackup:

    Physical/Medical updates.
    Problems w/ the Lymphodema/swelling/fixing. Can they get the lymphodema un-infected & un-swollen before I run out of breathing? Is the lypho/swelling compressing arteries giving me strokes? They trying to figure it out before I run out of breath.
    The last lap is down to pure red-tape, and luck. There is no, "Hang in there" "Be strong" "You can do this" .....That was chemo/radiation.....At this point it is all luck.....Bad luck is what got me to this point, Pray I quickly get some good luck.
    Thank you, and love you all.
