I'll pop my head up slowly and update you on what is happening. I've been released for now to
re-try outpatient therapy. We will be able to gauge by next week perhaps how successful this
go-round has been. I did see some things that gave me hope, though it is also apparent how
important it is to remain cautious when things change so quickly. I did become a minor medical
celebrity, with even one of my mom's doctors popping in to my hospital room to say, "I heard
there was a case of Pyoderma Gangrenosum here, but I had no idea it was you."
He did not treat my mother's cancer, and in the rush of all that has happened since her death, I had
not been able to inform him that she had passed. He tried to ask tactfully, and I simply said, "Yes, she's
gone." He listened as I described what led up to her passing, and to my newfound medical
notoriety. Yes, doctors feel like crying when they lose a patient, but he hid it well as I recounted
the last moments of her life. He's a wonderful doctor. Sometimes it is easy to forget she only passed
August 25th. So much has transpired since then! That is really such a short period of time.
More soon. Thanks for all your comments and messages, via the blog, email, or facebook.
Christine, wow, thanks... just getting round to posting comments, so will re-post your blog comment
here too... it truly touches my heart. <3 It's beyond nice to know that people care so much.
You are all in my thoughts as well!

You are in my constant prayers Karen. I am so scared for you. I wish I lived closer to you so I could help you myself. You don't deserve this, no one does, but you are an angel and such a beautiful soul. If I could carry some of your pain and suffering, I would. I know how to carry pain. May love and light be your constant companion even in the dark times.
May God in heaven grant you strength of heart, courage to face this, and the will to survive. May you be made well soon so you may regain the life you knew before. You are a blessing, and whether you know it or not..you matter to so many people, myself included.
With Prayers,
Christine
I grieve with you...
