Barbara, that is a great idea!
All this unnecessary tragedy (or so it seems) is reminding me of my dear Aunt Elsie. She went into a so-called "good" hospital at age 87 for surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from her stomach. The surgery was successful, but during the procedure something else (can't remember what it was) was perforated by a nick of the scalpel. and she died. not immediately, but she developed an infection where the nick was, and they had to reopen the incision. anyway, it was really sad. We all felt she probably wouldn't have lived very long, anyway, but that they killed her. prematurely. This was 17 years ago, and it still hurts.
Babe, I'm sending both you and Wallie hugs and prayers, and hoping very much for a good end to this story.
