Patricia, You have been thur an awful lot since Feb. so don't be so hard on yourself. Physically and mentally it takes a heavy toll on a person. It's bad enough trying to fight this dreaded disease...but when you one thing after another keeps going wrong it can sure bring you down. I can so understand why you are feeling like a hermit and wanting to isolate. I think at times like that ones your going thur it's human nature for many of us to feel like that. In fact I'm usually on this board all the time...but like you I have had so many things going wrong that I just couldn't even come up for air. I just crawled into my safe hole and sat here. This is the 1st time I've peeked my head out in a long while. So I can relate to how your feeling.

I think our body and mind direct & help us get thru these rough times. My heart really goes out to you. I'm glad you decided to post because I think you will see that many of us are the same way when we are going thur a difficult situation. You hang in there and know we are always here for you. Sending a really big hug your way.
