Hi Suzanne
Today was better, yes, thanks. I had to leave work early yesterday, and
was a big bed potato -- took 2 Tylenol 3 and was in bed at 4, more T3
later, helped enough to be bearable. I wonder if I might share your poem
with my sister? She has some pretty severe spastic colon, and
undiagnosed yet other problems - one doc actually thinks its a gyno
problem, waiting for an obgyn referral pending biopsy results; but she
seems to have a lot of endo symptoms and she's been getting the
runaround from the family doc.
Take care!!!
Amy
