Hi Brain ,

Your daughter had surgical instrument left in her --wow --that is scary!! Did she become septic? I just read all you been thru ---its truly is amazing what a human being can endure. You must be a extremely strong person !! I know holiday are tough when you have bad memories but maybe try to do something on Easter to distract yourself---or do something you enjoy or use to enjoy--- and have not done in a longtime. It may help. Holidays are not the same for me either so I understand it. I wish you a nice one and hope it turns better than you think it will.
