Hello all my sister & brother Netters,


I made it home last night from the U of Chicago Hospital switching from the
"crazy hospital environment to my private home nurse--my husband.  I am
heading for bed now but had to first talk to you all and tell you how much
all your letters, love, support, etc.  my netter family has been for and to
me.  I never realized how lucky we are!!  One tidbit I have to share with you
and then I will explain the incredible disasters, but wonderful miricles that
also occured at a later time.  I am presently sitting here with "our edema
remedy"  cabbage leaves across my eye and the entire right side of my
incision and head.  IT REALLY IS WORKING.  Can you imagine me explaining that
one to the chief of neuro and neuro-surgery,.  I think I would be headed
towards the lock-up ward.  Except for a massive headache, I think things are
going well.  Dr. Tom Hale, I have a quick question for you later if you are
still in town.  They really have been playing around with my meds.  I was
suppose to have a post op MIR done at U of C, but of course they never could
fit me in because of the celebrities  ie.- the star in the movie SPEED was in
there for a long time, explained to me "an emergency, Pat  you just have to
wait".  I'm going to go to bed and try to be a "good patient" for my husband.
 I am really looking forward to talking to you all again and I promise to
respond to all my e-mail now.  A whole month off.  Can you believe it???  I
hear your voice Jan Barger---"Pat, take it easy"  Thanks.

Love to you all,
