John-
Sincere wishes and prayers for you. It is so heartbreaking to see hopes dashed. I have been getting glimpses of the future myself from time to time and don't like it a damn bit. One of the things that we don't like to do is to dredge into the archives of the oldtimers such as PIENO going back 20 years or so and realizing that those people said much the same things as we do or did. Sobering.
I am not going to hold out false hope for you. Sometimes even kindness is cruel. I just checked and the cupboard is low on things that may help particularly once the polypharms begin their dance. The cupboard may be low but there is always a place at the table. We share what we have.
-Rick
