dear Dana
we have all experienced the doubt of others, many of us to the point where, in the midst of severe pain ... and yes cyanosis, Vic for sure ... we even doubt it ourselves. it is sites like this that give us a certain degree of sanity through it all. i always wished my pain would GLOW with the degree of hurt i was feeling ... but in the end we are left with having to trust ourselves.
To Vic, keep writing ... i enjoy your thought provoking messages.
