Dear Pain Group

I had to spend 6 days in hospital

due to intense infection in lower legs.

It is a new hospital except it was

cold inside and could not turn up heat

enough.

One good thing was the full screen

tv and a beautiful channel called

CARE. It has slow changing beautiful

scenery of entire USA during day,

and stars at night.

I was tied to IV most of the time.

They did extreme miracle in finding

several veins other experts never found.

I now have cellulitis so bad that it is

deep into bone and cannot be cured.

I am was filled with very strong antibiotics

and now take it orally. Soon I will be

taking penicillin for the rest of my life.

I really don't mind being dead since

I am a religious, except it is getting

there which is beyond confounding

and painful and isolating since I will

soon not have my mother or her

husband because of their age.

Right now I am very fortunate to

have doctor who is willing to prescribe

Vicodin at sufficient high level although

only 10/500 mg.

I almost was not allowed to return to

my apartment except now am enjoying

the years the locust ate so to speak.

I am fortunate to have a tv channel now

and then which actually has a good channel

to watch now and then. The political

channel can even be interesting now and

then.

Much of the time I can keep my pain

level down to around 3 except during

exertion it goes to 6 out of 10.

I will go now. Thank you for listening.

Your Friend,
