Marie,

I don't know where to start. One, because of the good/not so good news. Two, because of how the doctor treated Ed and you. Three, because of how you responded.

The first: Can't help but to be positive, those new met will be gone.

The second: How do these people, because damn it they are still human (or at least they should be) treat someone, no matter how ill, with such disregard. There should be a required compassion class in med school. At the beginning and at right before graduation.

The third: I can't help but restate what I am sure has been said before. You are one amazing person. I only hope in my life I have a person (hopefully my hubby) who will stand up for me like that. You made me cry.

A very Merry Christmas to you. May you be rewarded 10 fold for the person you are.

G-d love you,
Ita

Marie, I am glad things went well with Ed. I am even happier that you put that arrogant doctor in his place. Home is the best place for recovery and if we need the docs or hospital we know when to get there. You my dear are a hoot! I hope one day to meet you, so I can shake your hand and give you a big hug! Hang in there Lady!

Marie,

I am so sorry that terrible doctor caused you both such anguish. Healers are supposed to heal, not tear you down. You and Ed are in my thoughts this holiday and I am wishing you all the best. Best of luck to you both with this latest treatment.

Hopeful
