Lisa: Sent you a message on your Carepages site as well. This recurrance really must feel devastating and we are here for you.

Wanted to tell you that we all wonder if we will be alive a year from now - the only difference between us and the "general public" is that they just don't think about it and we do. There are no guarantees for any of us.

I know from experience that right now you have just been handed this news while you are STILL dealing with the pain. Regardless of what they do - once you are rid of the pain - THEN you can see where you are at - what you can do and what you need to make adjustments for. One way or another - you will get done what you need to get done! You have that determined spirit.

It is difficult to think clearly when you have the pain. I pray that the surgery will remove all of that from your life.

Hugs

Donna
