 > Dear Noelle and Robert,
 > I apologize for getting so far behind on reading and writing emails.  Roger'
 > s physical and mental diseases have my mind continually stressed and can

 > one running in the whole country. I use to support Nancy Pelosi but her non 
 > stop emails asking for money eventhough I have unsubscribed more than once, 
 > have changed my positive attitude about her into very negative. And the way

 > have because pharmacy didn't get new supply.
 > I always

 > So I realize that I shouldn't recommend that anyone go off of gabapentin

 > It enrages me that Robt wasn't given a narcotic before the surgery.  The
