Hey Judy!
Happy Thanksgiving! We both have alot to be thankful for! maybe not to a "normal" human; but hey:WE ARE STILL HERE!!!!! Battered,bruised,stiff and sore-but still here. We can move, breathe and think, to some extent anyway. We've proven drs don't know everything and GOD IS GOOD. You also live in one of the most beautiful states in the world. The taper will work- just remember it's one small step at a time. You are in my prayers girlfriend.
love ya,
becki
