Dizzy,

I’m so glad you’ve found the Waterpik useful and helpful.

You mustn’t feel compelled to talk to everyone who calls to ask after you. Maybe someone in your family can be given the task of responding to phone calls. It’s a drag to have to repeat your “story”.over and over. We used to have a friend who called every week to ask how John was feeling and what the doctors were doing for him. I knew it was meant well but I found it too aggressive. I wish I could tell them there’s no weekly progress report.

If you really crave some private time, a short walk round the block is good for you too. Exercise a bit if you can but make sure you do what’s within your ability at this point in time.
