LILA'S TRAVAILS

Lila said this morning that she is once again having serious difficulty with her health. She has trouble breathing, and thinks it is because of heart failure. She has to have help getting to and from the bus that takes her to dialysis treatments. She is still fixing her own meals, but does not have much of an apetitite. She has been to the doctor several times for thyroid tests and treatment, but does not understand clearly how serious a problem it is. She says her lungs are functioning okay, and her oxygen levels are fine. She takes nitro for the heart failure, along with several prescriptions, and it helps stop the pain. She is a bit worried about staying by herself in the apartment because of all the problems she has been having lately.

She says Tim is in the market for another job--so he doesn't have to travel during the dead of winter. Cindy is always on the go, working with Don in the business, while taking her kids to schools and a variety of activities. Karen and Tracy are in the Miles City area, seeing Linda and Dallas, and hunting antelope. She has a very active family!
