Kirsten, I hope your situation improves so that you may have peace for a change! You need all the rest you can get. I wonder if they have been giving you the correct pain medication. Pain management can be so tricky.

I don't know about the kind of problems you are having but do know that any health problem can set one back many steps. Time will heal you. Maybe Mom could spend some time with you? Are there visiting nurses in your country? I hope you have good neighbors and friends. Sometimes one needs to ask for assistance, as difficult it is for those of us who are independent and living alone.

You are on all our minds and in our most positive thoughts.

Hang in there dear one. Keep that chin up. Sleep is good for you, so ask your doctor for some really good drugs to get you through the tough times, like NOW!

Keep us posted Kirsten.
