My heart goes out to you Sandy. We just never know, any of us, what life has in store for us.

Thank you so much for the warning. It makes me realize how lucky I was when I had my liver resection and developed soreness around the IV in my good arm. I complained to the nurses, but it took them forever to get it removed. It was indeed infected, and looking back I can't believe how lax they were in dealing with it. the doctor ordered them to get hot compresses and keep them on my arm, as I actually had redness going up my arm. I had to constantly nag them to bring me the compresses.

It just reminds us that we truly have to stay informed and take charge of our own well being, and after that, it's up to God.

Take Care, Kim in CA
