Hi Betsy, I'm so sorry you are so cold. Mark has usually been cold these past 2 years, and I think I've attributed it to his low counts for so long. He's usually been anemic most of this time. Even now here in Seattle, he is cold all the time with very few exceptions.
My sister in law doesn't work during the day, so if you would like to connect with her I can email you privately. Kim lives in Homer also and I'm sure you'd enjoy her. She was staying at home for the past 7 years or so taking care of her grandad, who passed away in October. We are planning a trip down to Homer this summer. Can we plan to connect sometime?
