Last week was the toughest week by far. O wound up getting 5 IV's tp keep me from dehydrating, had PEG tube put in and no energy. Things stabikized over the weekend and am feeling pretty good. It just so happened my bro-in-law was diagnosed last weeek with cancer of the escopogus and will have surgery today.
