Hey all. Home from the Hospice center, with a pain pump, instead of having to take liquid or pills every 3 hours, and glad to be done. This should make sleep a little better!!

Am shocked to see it is 28 degrees in Nashville with Snow and 70 here in Florida where we are. Wow!!

Love to all. Hanging in there.

    Glad to hear they are dealing with the pain
    Eric,

    It is good to hear that they are responsive and dealing with pain issues. As a survivor I can put up with a lot of stuff, but I am afraid of pain.

    It is even getting cooler here in South Carolina with a high of 48 degrees expected by tomorrow. We may have to take a quick trip south to Florida as well.

    I am glad you are hanging in there and hopefully pain free.

    Blessings and prayers.


    Best Regards,
