I have lost 18 pounds in a month, food sucks,no appetite. They have had a very hard time putting IV's in and keeping them in. My arms are black and blue all over I awaiting on a team of professionals to come in and install a mid line.

This is a fight where I have to be so damn bullheaded that I don't get down and just want to give up. I can see where some older folks just don't have the will to fight and give up. I have never given up anything, it's not in my makeup. Anytime I have been challenged with anything, I have always been able to reach down and grab that extra bag of determination and apply it.

Here's hoping tomorrow's reports are encouraging.

This is why I think you should pay someone to fix your plumbing. You need to take it easy and rest up. You are not in DIY mode after what you are going thru. Drink plenty of water.
