Re: (...)
I will not be on here as much due to a recurring illness. I am diabetic due to my pancreas quitting working...most of the time. When it does work it is extremely painful. The only medication that really works is morphine to which I have an allergic reaction...I itch badly and I mean EVERYTHING itches. On occasion I itch so bad I scratch myself during my sleep leaving bloody marks. What the heck, at least I'm still alive.
Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.

Dearest Billy,
How awful for this to happen to you, it's just not right. Please don't stay too gone, it won't be anywhere near the same without you. Isn't there anything at all that might help? Oh I wish there was something we could do
Hugs, tears, hugs

This is a real heartbreaker, Billy!!! You MUST get better and visit us---we depend upon your input---always lighthearted and giving in nature!!!
Sickness is always tough to endure---all of my family is insulin dependent--I am the only fortunate being in that respect. Morphine can have extreme allergic sensitivities in some people---have you tried Demerol? I'm sure your MD has thought of all of the alternatives.
BEST WISHES Billy, thoughts and tons of hugs are coming your way!!! GET BETTER___NZ and Dale (the nurse) are calling you!!!
SEE YOU SOON!!!! (and often)

Demerol has no affect whatsoever on me. They gave me Fiorinal [without the codiene since I'm allergic to it too], but I can only take two pills a day and it isn't enough.
My body may be in pain, but my spirits are still here. I just can't be still for long, I wander around, twist and turn...I even curse once in a while [I've found I have lost most of the talent for that..not near as good as I was].
Jan dear, here you were wondering that I had any friends at all the other day
...see, I do

Don't wait too long to tell someone you love them.
