[Guest guest]

Joyce,

Well, great, another thing for you to deal with. I hope you get

the right answer soon along with something that can help.

Zena,

I definitely relate to being hard to stick and multi-colored. Last week

I got the worst bruise on my arm I've ever had not counting the

transplant surgery. I do often ask them to use a butterfly needle,

but if they have to draw many vials sometimes that won't work.

,

I'm keeping your family and your niece in my prayers.

Jon,

I'm keeping high hopes for Pirfenidone and that you will

continue to show signs that it is benefitting you especially.

May,

I know how excited you must be about the upcoming wedding.

It sounds like everyone is already having fun with the

preparations, which is as it should be but sometimes hard to

pull off. It's just right around the corner!

GANG, I'll be behind - probably WAY behind for a while- in

both reading and posting, with all the activity surrounding my

mother's death Saturday night, what with out of town company,

family, resting, recuperating, and grieving. I feel immobilized.

The funeral's tomorrow. Thanks for the comforting words and

condolences. But I'm with everyone in spirit. If anyone talks to

our resident road warrior, tell Bruce I said hello. I think it's just

great that he's doing this!

Hugs and blessings,
