Dear Richard.My God, it is NOT hopeless! Nothing is hopeless, you just need help on this, that's all! I will help you if you let me... Why do you say that your wife needs a laporotomy verses a laporoscopy? What did the surgeon she is seeing or waitng to hear from have to say about that? Anything I can do to help as we have spoken before, but only briefly.

Contact me privately if you would like.. In friendship, Beverly
