What a sweetheart you are for writing to me in large print. I really

appreciate the extra time you spent. I know it's hard enough to sit at these

computers and type and read and think with Fibro and everything else messing up

our lives, so I want you to know how very much you are appreciated.

I have one of those screens that I lay over my books now. I haven't been able

to find anything for a computer screen except the ones that cut down glare,

which I'm thinking about getting. Or rather thinking about asking my daughter

to get for me, since I'm broke. I know, join the club. Thank you for trying to

figure out solutions for me. I need all the help I can get anyway, but

particularly when the fibro fog rolls in.

Thank you again for keeping me in your prayers and letting me know it's

alright to stay in the group even when I'm not participating much.

I'm not sure about the hospitalization. I'm going in tomorrow, after I drive

myself 30 min one way(scary) to my eye doctor's appt, to discuss with the

oncologist, who's right across the street in the hospital, how it is to be done.

He had said before that it depends on what they decide to give me and on whether

I will be home alone during the treatment. If it is to be three days a week,

then I may have to stay over because I do live alone. The other recourse is for

Andi or Joe to take me the three days and for me to stay at their house. She is

night weaning her youngest and they are getting no sleep so it's not a relaxing

place to recuperate or be sick right now. They have three small bedrooms, one

is theirs, one is for the other two boys and one is the nursery. Before when

I've stayed over they have put the baby in a pack and play in their room, but

with the weaning he needs to not see mommy during the night so that wouldn't be

an option. I'll have to talk this

all out with the doctor tomorrow. The other thing is paying my deductible to

stay over in the hospital. Andi and Joe would have to do that for me, but it

may be the best option for all of us. At least they have the money and it

wouldn't be putting them out. It's $2500. and then the rest is picked up by

insurance I can't really afford, but that is a discussion for another day.

Thanks again,

Luv ya, Marti

Marti - You are very much in my prayers. No one has to leave this

group for not participating. Heck, there are what, 1400 members and how many of

them regularly post to the group? Only a small percentage. You take and give

what you can to the group. I know I've seen magnifying screens that are

available to buy. I'm talking about a screen you can place over a book or

magazine print to enlarge it. Just a thought. Take care.
