Hello To All

[Guest guest]

I know it has been a long time since I have been here. I am sorry I

have worried some of you. I am doing pretty good. I want to thank

those of you who have sent me letters expressing your concern. I

have just recently lost one of my sisters and the last few months

have not been good for me as I have been battling depression. She

had been battling cancer for the last 2 years and finally died with

a massive stroke. I have taken this hard as it has brought me back

to a point of facing my own mortality. I have a tendency to close

myself in when dealing with such things and have trouble talking

about it.

I have had some problems with my B/P which have been dealt with and

it is now under control. The swelling problem has also been

alleviated. I am finally losing weight which makes me happy. I think

it is due to medication changes. They recently put me on Neurontin

to help with the increased depression. Most of it is just going to

take time to heal. Any psychotic episodes have been so minor it

isn't worth mentioning.

I do hope you all are doing well and wish I could help you deal with

things, but right now I have a full plate. Please know that you are

in my thoughts and my prayers. Hugs...Patti
