Thank you for the cartoons and flowers Gus. That was really nice.

I'm so sorry about Al, Liz. Truly.

Well, I have some news. First the good news. I do not need knee replacement. I need arthroscopic surgery to remove broken bone and to insert Sinvisc in the knee. I don't know if I'll need it on the other knee.

I honestly can't remember if I told you, but I have to have shots in my spinal cord and PT on my legs.

I went back to visit my Gastro today. Due to an emergency, he wasn't there and I was forced to see his new assistant. Not the rude one, a new one. You're not going to believe this, but she jerked me off all my colitis medicine just like the other did, including the new ones the specialist gave me just last week.

I explained to her what was going to happen to me, but she was adamant. She says tests show my pancreas has stopped working and has "dried up" and so she put me on pancreatic enzymes. I am so frustrated and so afraid. I've cried on and off all evening out of fear and anger.

The people I've talked to this evening have one and all told me to just trust her and take the enzymes. They don't get it. I can't take care of me, keep my Dr's appointments and take care of Belle when I get in the shape I know I'm going to be in soon.
