Today I thumb my nose at the fear, but I know that it won't last for long. Charm keep that chin up darlin'. You are sounding down here lately. Do not let it get to you.

Funny I am reading a recommended book Chasing Daylight that is about now also. Today is what we have folks - right now and it is what it is. Let's all smile and do a BIG GROUP HUG.

I love you.
Patty

Yep Christine, Our Patty has put the gloves back on and is ready for a KO in the 2nd round LOL I am so glad to hear her upbeat for a change. Christine, I want to send a pic of me after the surgey and treatments my daughter took, I forgot about it until I found it on my computer in the recnet documents. I can print it but not email it, I will send it to you and you post it.. PLEASE MAM LOL I am a ditz with this thing


Since posting this. UPMC, Pittsburgh, Oct 2011 until Jan. I averaged about 2 to 3 surgeries a week there. w Can't have jaw made as bone is deteroriating steaily that is left in jaw. Mersa is to blame. Feeding tube . Had trach for 4mos. Got it out April.
