Hi to Everyone, I hope this reaches all of you.I so want to thank all of you for your prayers and positive thoughts for me. As things turned out, I really needed them. My surgery went well but rest of it , I was in critical condition for a good week. I finally got home last weekend. I am pretty weak and not hungry, but I will get better with time. I went into the hospital on the 19th to have lung surgery to have my left lung removed because of cancer. They found a spot on my spine and one on my aorta arterey which soon as I can regain my immune system, I will go through 6 weeks of chemo and radiation. The surgery went well and right on target and I would have been back to work last week except I acquired MRSA from the hospital and became critically ill from that and them because of the MRSA it gave me atrial fibulation of the heart.I knew nothing about MRSA before I had this experienc but it is devastating to the immune system. It has torn mine down to nothing . Even if I felt like it I can not go out and be exposed to other germs, plus I am cantagious to otherpeople, especially if they are compromised in any way. This has been a totally devastating thing physically and financially for Tom and I. ( Just an example the only antibiotic that MRSA is not immune to is Viox and a 10 day supply that they sent me home with , our co-pay for the prescription was $503.00.) MRSA is so powerful it is immune to almost all antibiotics. Thank god for insurance. Can you imagine what it would have cost me without insurance. I have a long hall back and my journey is going to be tough, but the alternative is 3 to 4 months and that is not what I want so I am going to need everyone of you continuingto send those prayers and positive thoughts. They have helped me get this far and I know with all of us together we'll beat this battle. I want to thank all of you from the bottom of my heart for being there for me. I know your there because I feel the warmth. Thanks again and I will write as I can. Love to all of you, Donna Detore P.S. If you receive this and you know someone who hasn't please forward it. I don't know how and I so want to reach each and everyone of you. If any of you know how to send it to everyone, I would really appreciate you doing it for me.
