Jeanie, I told Sheila what you said, and she said, "That just makes me feel so blessed". She said she will always be there for you in spirit.
We think you are one of the sweetest people we have been blessed to "meet" via the 'Net.
Yes, it really does take often take those going through tough times, to truly understand others going through tough times.
She feels so bad that you have to go through so much prep before your colonoscopy. A number of years ago, I took her to Cleveland Clinic on the advice of her former G.I. Doc. Well, they put her through cleanses 3 days in a row, and she refused to leave our girls at home. So, I waited in the car with them. On the 3rd evening, while she waited for the G.I. Doc, the entire staff went home. The G.I Doc was in another exam room, laughing with a patient, and Sheila was in tachycardia, laying across two chairs in the exam room. The nurse knew she was in tachycardia, and left.
When people tell us they want to be referred to Cleveland Clinic, we tell them, it's changed. Even the employee's refer to it in a not so nice manner.

That's wonderful news that Sheila is able to take a larger though tiny portion of the medicine for her bad pain. Even a little bit of help beats none at all, doesn't it! I'm so glad she's got that to help in some small way. Even with the side effects, it's good to get some respite from unremitting pain.
Your sweet feelings are returned - the very same I feel about getting to know you two on YT! Turns out even bad times bring about blessings unbounded and miracles turn up everywhere.
Sheila sounds as if she was very blessed to have survived that episode at the Cleveland Clinic, poor thing. Sounds awful and smacks of patient neglect and some degree of malpractice! She was very fortunate to have you to look out for her and to have you and those babies waiting for her when she was done with that awful test! I'll bet she won't be ever returning back there. Your both are always in my prayers. Take care, both of you.
