Lolly, I appologize for not posting sooner. Every time I read this thread I get too emotional to write. I love your picture and wish that you were well enough to come on the retreat with us. Of course, who knows with this damn disease which one of us will be in treatment in January. Please make sure you get enough rest so you have the energy to keep us posted on your progress. I don't know where the monkey thing came from, but I am fighting a mosquito right now that looks as big as the flying monkies in "The Wizzard of Oz". So far the flying vampire is winning, but I am determined to get em before bedtime. I so wish you did not have to go through yet another treatment, but if this is what it takes to stomp those monkies - so be it! I don't really pray, but I am sending all the positive energy I can muster your way ~~~~~~~~~~~~~Hope you can feel it through cyber space. Healing Peace to you. Karen
PS: The dormant Catholic in me needs to google St. Pio now. Go Figure !?!
