Frank-
My thoughts are with you. I spent close to 3 weeks in INOVA Fairfax Hospital due to a leg infection and some blood poisoning. As I type this I still have an IV in my arm. Frank when I was in the ER and ICU I didn't know how I was going to make it through. I was scared, frightened and afraid. But what did get me through was the love of friends, family, co-workers, etc... I had so many people that showed me grace, love, and support. And it helped me stay on course. I'm working my way out of the woods. but hang in there...due to my recent hospitalization that makes this issue more personal for me.
