Especially when I'm having a hard time getting his medical supplies for May and June. Your blog always makes my day better. Stay strong, your family is amazing.

However, my mind races ahead to all of the anonymous folk without a blog following needing equally expensive medicine, equally un-covered. Take the small mercies, and think of those who can't...because at times the small mercies are all you have WIN Susan That Pharmacist truly did a nice thing for you.

I have written the tiniest smidgeon about it, but anyway. I was thinking as I read that I hate it, and how it is such a destroyer. However, when I got to the end of your post I was struck by the thought that as terrible as it is (and Lord, I can't wait for this disease to be gone for good) it can bring out the best in some people. Thank you for sharing your life and that story.

Wow. Sometimes people just blow you away. I'm so glad your lives have been touched by so many good people. Win Susan! I was not expecting the pharmacy story to be a good one. Wow.

"Never had anyone like that here..." You are being watched out for my friend. Win Susan.

Pressure-redistribution and air circulation... better with real lambskin than the fake fleece stuff, but if Susan can't tolerate wool on her skin try the fake stuff. Three cheers for the pharmacist!
