Dear ,

As with anything mailed, it's iffy at best, and given all that went on with ie I'm not surprised. I'll e-mail Wanda personally and will also look through my past posts with her and see if I have ies home address and ask her if I can pass it along to you. Not good to put home addresses or phone #'s on an open forum like this, always do it in personal e-mail. I've been meaning to get ahold of her anyway to see how things are going with him, it's kinda hit and miss, as I'm sure she has her hands full besides keeping me in the loop, boy those two sure have been through it.

[ ] Frustrated with slow mail delivery @ HSS

So I picked up my mail today and in it was a returned card that I sent to ie when he was in HSS. I mailed it on October 8 which should have given it plenty of time to get there and get to ie. The note on it says that on 11/22, over 6 WEEKS after I mailed it, they returned it to me because he had been discharged. Now I realize that there are hundreds of patients at HSS but seriously. How can they justify that? ie was in the hospital for at least a month, even if he was in ICU they should have been able to get it to Wanda if not him. I guess in the future I will just use the hospital email card system. It seems to work better, sometimes anyway.So just a heads up. If you send a get well or thinking of you card to someone in the hospital they may not even get

it.

Hi Wanda,

I am so sorry to hear that ie is still struggling. It sounds like you are

suffering, also,

from all of the stress. I hope you can get relief from the shingles. I know

they are so

painful. I will keep both you and ie in my prayers. Please take care of

yourself, also.

We haven't forgotten about you!!

Wanda,

Please tell ie we are all pulling for him.

All of us who sent cards when he was at HSS had them returned....I

guess they couldn't find him. I know I am not alone in wanting to send

him good wishes....can you give us an address that will be sure to get

a card to him...either his or your home or the hospital?

Sorry to hear you have shingles...I know from family members that have

had it how painful it is. I think I recall that the Lidocaine patches

that many of us use on our backs actually were developed to treat the

pain of shingles...hopefully your doctor will prescribe something to

help!

Take Care, Cam

Wanda,

Please let ie know we think of him often and pray for him more

than that. We miss his witty posts.
