Thanks for being so candid. Yes it’s good to see the humor in what happens to us, but yikes! I winced in empathy more than once and sighed in relief when George finally showed up. This coming from someone who’s maybe suffered less so far, but is in a similar boat, maybe earlier on in my journey, though no two cases are the same. I’m hoping and praying for mutual miracles.

Hang in there Karen and keep us updated when you can. After following blogs and podcasts that ended abruptly, I feel bad when I can’t post regularly, even in the hospital, thinking people might start to worry, or unsubscribe 😢and though it feels like a mission keeping me going, I have to put my well-being first. Sometimes it’s just too hard to write.

Oh and don’t get me started on the pain scale. It’s so arbitrary. One doctor in a hospital explained to me, very matter of factly, that if I wanted my next dose I just needed to say six or higher or maybe it was seven. Huh, good to know.
