Sorry, I don’t have any answers for you, but your attitude and tenacity is so inspiring with so many serious health issues you are and have been having!!

And advice you can give would be much appreciated on how you cope and deal so well with the emotional turmoil and overwhelm all these health challenges cause us?
Thanks!

Thanks. I've had other major challenges in life. Too soapy to go into in this forum.
I guess what helps mosr is to look at what problems others have that I don't have and I try to focus on making the time I have left the best it can be. Don't want to waste time and energy on unhappiness about past or current problems. Recently visited my out of state grandchildren (that I adore). Saying he wanted "Nana time", the child who had turned five days earlier walked with me picking dandelions that he loves and loves to smell. He turned to me and said Nana, you know I won't forget you when you go home. I will keep these dandelions and think of you when I smell them.
That is one of the sweetest, dearest things anyone has said to me. What better reason to keep positive!
