NO MORE

i'm at the end of my rope.
strength of mind and body is ebbing away. i've been bed bound since our return on Saturday from SF...no relief from vomitting - aside from some fluids, ive not kept anything or any food down...and had really only kept sporadic meal or food down here and there over past several weeks.

Parker is doing very poorly. morphine is only taking edge of his pain and he is exhausted, pale, weak...

it just doesn't end. there is no end to this suffering. this pit. this hole. I want it to all go away. i cant take anymore - endless day bleeds into another endless day into another and another and another...

no more
no more

Hi Shannon, I am so sorry to hear that you are so unwell. We just got this email (a forward of a forward) about the new lyme clinic and I am sure you have heard, but I just wanted to be sure. You and your family deserve to be at the very top of the list.

Here it is:

Hello everyone,

Please let as many people as possible know about this clinic and get them to sign up for it. One facet of BC Health services is finally recognizing the possibility of lyme disease in B.C. and Canada and attempting to set up a clinic for diagnosis and treatment. Even if people are not sure they have lyme disease, please encourage them to sign up. The more names we can get on this list, the most likely it is that we will get the help we need within our own medical system. And, please pass this information onto anyone to whom it might pertain.

Warmly,
Heidi Kliewer


But the reason I am e-mailing is that the BC clinic is taking names and I was hoping that you could e-mail this out to any contacts you have:
BC LYME CLINIC IS TAKING NAMES OF POTENTIAL PATIENTS:
I have been in contact with a Theresa Kennedy from the Provincial Health Services Authority. She is beginning to take the names of those who are interested in the clinic. Please send her your name and telephone number. She would also like to know why you are interested and if you represent an organization. Her e-mail is: Theresa.Kennedy@phsa.ca
