Thank you all again. I really appreciate all the prayers and positive thoughts.

Dad had a scope-down-the-throat inspection procedure yesterday. I haven't talked to him yet because I'm sure his throat is sore, and he has such a hard time talking and keeping his breath as it is. But the report is that he came through okay.

Meanwhile I've actually had a good couple of days now. Maybe it's the Lamictal kicking in? Maybe it's my husband seeming to be more understanding of my condition. Ironically, I have actually been feeling good enough to do some browsing through professional journals I haven't been about to touch in about two years and focus a little here and there on my freelance project.
