Dear Bizi,

I'm so sorry to hear about Jeff's mom. Knee injuries are so painful i really feel for her. I am sending her good thoughts and will continue to send wishes for her healing.

I am a little confused. You say she needs total knee replacement but also a "cortisone shot to see if that will help" ........ Is the cortisone just an interim thing, to try to reduce her pain/inflammation while she waits to do the surgery, or is there a chance the damage might not be so extensive as to require the surgery after all?

I am sorry you will be alone for a while. I wonder if you can arrange for a friend to sleep over some nights and to stay at a friend some nights. What do you find soothing?

I am totally off my night owl schedule now due to several early risings that were forced on me... otherwise i'd be only to happy to keep you company in chat in the evenings. if/when my schedule rolls forward again i will surely let you know.

Sending well wishes to Jeff's mom but not only, also to his dad, to Jeff himself, and to You dear sweet Bizi.
