I knew that you have been worried. she sends her love and thanks....susan t. landryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12454487318141469849noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205011361740478772.post-56321415526437799882010-03-11T07:23:39.176-08:002010-03-11T07:23:39.176-08:00Checking in on you.

It's a long story but I've been wary of that procedure ever since. <br /><br />Your story sounds extremely painful too in more ways than one. Metaphor is probably the only way you can describe it. It's brave of you to try.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8205011361740478772.post-1556344502771177062010-02-26T15:28:39.227-08:002010-02-26T15:28:39.227-08:00my brave, brave friend....

Know you feel punched sideways just now, but try to sleep and rest as much as you can for the weekend, in preparation for Tuesday.
