I just clocked in a while ago for the night shift as well Chris. Always nice to see you chime in anywhere you happen to appear, I appreciate your wise inputs. Just wanted to throw that out there.

I am sorry Jim for your tribulations over drug availability. It makes me seethe to know of you guys being hassled over getting whatever you want or need for your pain. But that will just lead me into another useless political tirade, so I'll leave it alone.

Linda has had a rough last 3 days/nights. Usually she somehow manages to get to sleep but now it seems her feet hurt so badly she can't remain asleep. I just kissed her goodnight a little while ago so hopefully she can catch up a little tonight.

Lori, your sweet words are appreciated more than I can tell you. But don't think that I have it bad. It's all of you who are suffering the worst. Mine is just the frustration of not being able to do more than commiserate. The life you pain sufferers live is a type of hell. I know in my deepest heart that souls continue their journey after this life but that does not mean you do not have an extremely onerous situation right here right now. It has to be faced and I do not know how some of you manage to do it.

Sunny, your situation is beyond belief. You seem to live a life that remains in a crisis mode of sorts. I can't believe they let you cry out in pain for 6 hours in pst op. Our health system is so arbitrary. Your as likely to be tortured by that gang as helped in some way. My deepest sympathies for all that you endure.

Welcome all to a new week. I wish and pray that all of you receive some well deserved comfort and solace from somewhere.

Best, Hank
