Hi Artie, I will be praying for you and your brother. Surgery is tough and it takes time to heal. I well remember how difficult a time I had after gallbladder surgery. It seems like when it rains it pours.

Hi I so relate to your feeling that people who want to die can't and those who want to live end up passing on. It's so hard.
