Dearest Stephen,
I just learned of your diagnosis and situation. My heart is overflowing with love for you. I wish I could visit and be with you, and tell you how inspirational you are and give you a hug. I am appreciative of these messages from you --they make the distance seem a little less great. I am thinking and praying for you and holding you in the Light.
With love,
Kate

Ay. Frustrations. Sorry you have to spend energy and time on such things. Your job is to be cared for not to have to set up appointments to getting that care. Still, you seem strong and positive of spirit. Good for you. I hope things go well today. You are in my thoughts! Love from our family to you.

i am so sorry that you're having to go thru these obstacles -- so frustrating! did i miss something? is your colonoscopy just your regularly scheduled one or is this a new issue? hang in there, dear friend. hoping your new team will awesome for you. sending love.

Glad you finally got the help you need. Hope you quickly settle in with your new team—sending love and Light to them as well as to you.

Hi Stephen - seems like a challenging couple of days. I hope the appointment went well today after all the effort and perseverance to make it so! Sending you huge love and imagining you wrapped up in blankets of light and love.

Good for you, Stephen. Get what you need. My thoughts are with you.

Dearest Stephen, I found the "Five Wishes" form to be very helpful in thinking through end of life care. If you do not know of it and cannot access it, I can scan and send it to you. I think it is about 8 pages. I am glad to hear that you were persistent in getting to an actual human being -- that is a challenge.

Part of staying strong is acknowledging our weaknesses and fears -- reduce them by sharing them. Much love,

Dear Stephen. I am so sorry it has been so difficult. This is a sad commentary on our state of society. Know there are plenty of humans out here rooting for you. Hang in there. Sending love.

Stephen--talk about rationing care. But you keep insisting in the firmest yet politest way possible, and they can't help but agree at last. I've recently had frustrating experiences trying to get a zoom meeting, and finally had to give it up because it took forever and somehow sounded like we were in the hills of Cambodia. There is no easy way of replacing human-to-human contact and understanding. A look, a gesture, a timely interruption can say what we can't find the words for. Plus, you are surrounded by love, frustrated and incoherent as it sometimes is.
