You CAN feel better and get better

My heart goes out to you. That's rough! So sorry. Who would ask for all you are going through? No one, that's who.

But you are going through it.

You feel down right now, and that's okay for a while. But don't let yourself stay down. Now's the time to call on every positive thought, every positive person you have ever known or heard about. If you believe in prayer, ask every prayer circle you can find to pray for you.

What you can't do for yourself, in terms of holding a positive attitude, ask others to do for you. It does make a difference.

My prayers are with you

OMG, I am so sorry to hear of your complications. I truly pray the antibiotics rid your body of the infection. My issues are minor in comparison. Please take some comfort in knowing there are lots of prayers going up for you - you are precious!

My prayers are with you

So sorry to hear you are having a relapse! Prayers the iv kicks it. Don had his moved to his abdomen after repeated infection. I'm sure he'll chime in, he's very happy with it there. Good luck!
