@lisalucier , and @colleenyoung, just a bit of an update on @sirgalahad. He has mentioned in a small group on Messenger that he would like me to share his current status with you.

The latest information I have is that he is suffering from cellulitis in his leg. Coinciding with a case of lymphedema, I can only imagine how disconcerting that is. My daughter was released from the hospital yesterday for the same thing.

Sadly, as if this was not enough on his plate, his sister passed away from Cancer. She had refused treatment, having gone to a place where she felt at home...India. This is the last close relative he has. He has a cousin back east that I know of. But he is feeling really alone right now.

He has had many good experiences with Connect. That is why he wanted me to share this information with you. I believe he is in a place of healing right now. Any words of encouragement and support would be most appreciated, I am sure.

As for me, I have been referred to an opthamologist by my PCP. I received a call from his office yesterday. The Office manager told me that my retinal scan showed some changes in the optic nerve. Being Type Two Diabetic, I can say with some certainty that it is Diabetes related.

Of course, I immediately looked at Mayo Clinic online to see what might possibly be in my path. I had no idea how many different conditions one little optic nerve could have! I stopped after about the fourth reading of symptoms and conditions. Most were encouraging. Albeit a little concerning.

I am so grateful for Mayo Clinic. And for Mayo Clinic Connect. You all have become a major player in my life. Thank you.
Love and light,
Mamacita Jane
