HELLO DEAR FRIEND! SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU BUT SORRY
YOU ARE HAVING SUCH RSD PROBLEMS, IT IS THE PITS!
RJ ISN'T DOING WELL AND IS IN THE 4TH STAGE AND HE HAS
BEEN UNABLE TO WALK NOW FOR ABOUT A YEAR AND 1/2 AND
HIS FRUSTRATION AND DEPRESSION LEVELS ARE VERY HIGH.
HE HAS BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SNAPPING LIGAMENTS NOW,
IT MUST HURT LIKE HELL AND HE IS AFRAID TO ASK FOR
MEDS FOR THE BREAK THRU PAIN, HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE
LABLED AS A DRUG ADDICT BUT I SAY, SO WHAT? THAT IS
WHAT THE MEDS ARE FOR AND ADDICTIONS CAN BE TREATED
WHEN HE IS ABLE TO WEAN OFF OF THEM! GRRR, THESE
DOCTOR'S MUST HAVE GONE TO THE RINGLING BROTHERS
SCHOOL OF MEDICINE, THEY ARE ALL CLOWNS! LOL
I NOTICED THAT DORI IS IN THIS GROUP, TOO! HI DORI!!
WELL, MUST GET TO MOWING BEFORE THIS LAWN NEEDS
BALING, IT HAS BEEN SUCH A WET SPRING FOR US, GOTTA
GET
THE WORK DONE BEFORE THE NEXT THUNDERSTORM HITS!!!
LOVE YA, ELAINE, AND YOU HAVE ALWAYS BEEN IN MY
PRAYERS!! GOD BLESS, CAROLE
P.S. LET'S KEEP IN TOUCH MORE OFTEN, OKAY? I HAVE
MISSED YOU!!
