Dear Sister,

Thanks so much for your reply - I appreciate it. Yes, I agree with you (and your T) that having the support of friends is a great asset. I am thankful to have caring friends and am able to be in touch with them most days by phone, and sometimes in person. Even when we talk about casual subjects for the most part, it still helps to have some contact.

I'd call my T in an emergency, but he was quite clear about that, and I know it's not a good option, so I need to have other ways of handling things.

Thanks so much, Sister. Thinking of you and wishing you well.

Take care,
ErinBear
