Obviously when two girls post who are always reasonable in their assessment of a problem....THIS is a problem.

I can't remember how long it was for Helene. She had two open heart surgeries and a renal artery widening where the pain continued for months.

It is hard to have it but harder sometimes to watch someone you love in pain.
