Dear Robin,
We are listening--and I feel so horrible for you. Every day must be so hard but you keep on going and doing what you need to do. Having adhesion pain is bad enough but with all the other things you have I don't know how you cope. I hope the future holds better days for you. I am keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.
your friend,
Jan
