> What have I done wrong and how do I fix it?Been a while since I've needed your help. Had bigger problems. My wife, Florine, died of a cerebral hemorrhage last June 30th. Ended up in the hospital with a nervous-breakdown. My son&his son flew to Medford, OR picked up a rental van loaded it and we left Friday Sept. 17 after a dialysis treatment. Arrived in Kilgore, TX, Monday Sept. 20 for my next scheduled dialysis. I'm ready to go home now. <br>
