Hello Loretta. It was so nice to be able to read your update! I hope
your doctor can figure out what is wrong. Please forgive my ignorance,
but I don't know a lot about lung Endo. When you feel okay, could you
take a few minutes to tell me about it? Will they be able to remove it
or are the lungs a part of the body that can not be operated on? I am
just trying to find out as much as possible about Endo. It is surreal
that Endo can move into the lungs. I'm so thankful that your pain is
somewhat less! I still pray that your doctor's will find out what is
happening to you, so it can be "fixed."
Thank you for the weather report : ) In Wisconsin, it is low 80's. Oh,
the swans had babies! The three babies were born June 9. They look like
penguins except their coat is gray. I check their progress everyday,
though I can't get too close because the dad will try to attack me! He
is a wonderful protector.
I hope your pain is kept at bay. I'm still praying for you Loretta.
Thanks for letting us know how you are feeling. I've been worried about
you! Remember you can email me at anytime...
Take care,
Shawna
