How wonderful that you helped your sister get to the source of her problems with her docs. Sometimes, I think there is so much duress that it is hard for a patient to figure out what their needs are. And, sometimes it's the little things that make a HUGE difference.

Does your sister like to write on a computer or long hand. If you can, I'd encourage her to write about this experience...the physical and the emotional roller coaster she is on...maybe this will be the book she gets published...and, maybe it can help her help others.

70 is young...my grandma is 94 and still gets around.

All the best,


Margaret
