First of all, Happy Holidays to all GMGers!

Some of you may have noticed my absence for a while. My sister, who had 16 hours of brain surgery 3 months ago, has been having difficulties. She's experiencing pain that the doctors say are "beyond what a human can endure" almost 24 hours a day. The only radical way to stop it would make her recovery impossible. But other ways to control it has been minimally effective, make the pain "barely bareable" from "unbearable". I have been at her side 24 hours a day for over 10 days now. She is all skins and bones now and I have lost about 4 or 5 kilos.

My only wish for the Holiday Season and for the coming New Year is for my sister to be free from her sufferings and fully recover. As I said to her many times recently, I will dedicate the rest of my life to give her a wonderful life and proof that all the suffering is worth it. That is a tall order, but God willing, she will have it.

Again, best wishes to all!

Just to echo the views of Elgarian.  All strength to you and your sister. I hope to hear some better news very soon.

Very sorry to hear this, springrite.  Prayers have been sent for you, your sister and your family.  Take care, buddy.

Springrite, I am very sad to hear of your sister's plight.  I will keep you both in mind, and I will hope for her full recovery and freedom from pain.

Paul, my prayers are with you and your family.  Your sister's pain and suffering (and your family's) puts everything in perspective.
