Thank you Marcia for all of your help. I guess I have some thinking to
do. I wish that none of us had to make any of these choices. I also
wish that all of us could be pain free and all better. It is good to
know that all of us are here for eachother.
Thank you again for helping.
Take care and pain free wishes always.
