I have been thinking of you. Next time you are in the hospital ask for a Patients Bill of Rights. If you are not pleased with lack of info you are getting, etc ask to see a patient advocate who is a trained counselor who will seek answers for you. They are equiped to speak with the doctors and can be helful in helping you get your needs met. Make lists of queations before appts, and before medical procedures and take them with, working at maintaing control will be helpful. I have been keeping you in my thoughts, and say to you again "in the arms of angels may you find some peace and comfort there"
