Dear Kris:

You can never be to careful. If things don't get better before Monday,

PLEASE go back to the hospital or another hospital. DOCTORS are human, They

make mistakes, Trust me, I know.

Until that time, we are here for you. I don't post often, but together we

can help support you through this tough time. Trust yourself on your pain

and discomfort and know that we are here to help you.
