February 15, 2011 - Day 1031

Good Morning Friends,
I am back to talk about the past 774 days when I was incommunicado.
There are many tales to tell about edema, low sodium, the results of
over-medication, falls that  resulted in some fairly serious wounds and brusing, trips to the hospital and ICU and my opinion about "modern medicine".
There are stories about just how low  I can get, dragging my loved ones with me.
Perhaps the most important things I would like to tell you about is the decision to stop therapy and just try to live as normally as possible.
The other thing (and most significant I believe) is about Jo Ann, my caregiver and the strength she has given me and shown in herself through this whole ordeal.
For the most part, I won't be writing every day as in the past, but it is my intention to write at least once or twice a week,the good Lord willing.We will just have to see how it  goes.
Thank you for all of your inquiries that never seemed to get answered. They helped us get through this rough period.
For now, that is all.
Doug
