I just did the new polls on cannulas. Very interesting to say the

least. I like the polls, I think they are very helpful.

Wanted to say one thing this morning, as much optimizim and zest that

I have for life, this morning I feel trapped and confused and my head

and face feel like it has been hit with a baseball bat, simply

because not only the cannula across my face, (I know, we do what we

must do), the part of the cannula that has the little strap

underneath that you can pull up to keep the cannula sort of fixed in

one place, I keep that part up on my chin so my neck doesn't get so

darn tired of the cannula constantly rubbing on my neck and when I

step on the tubing (which is almost all day long as I move around the

house all the day long) with the tubing on my chin, it at least

doesn't bug me so much. I look like some kind of a freakish freak.

Today I feel trapped. It is almost too much to bear for me today. I

need some prayers. I don't ask for anything at all on this board,

but today I am not depressed at all, I just need some prayers. I am

not venting, just need some extra prayers. My eyesight is not so

good, and I am trying so very hard to accept all that stuff too.

Wearing the patch just seems to cover my existance and bury my

heart. Today I hurt inside and need you guys.

I LOVE YOU THIS DAY !!!

HEAVEN IS IN THE NEXT ROOM !! (and today I wish I were there)
