Surviving God's Woodshed:
Larry, 60, Indiana, husband to Lea, diagnosed on March 26, 2007. Lea uses Lantus and Humalog. Larry is a professional writer, husband of a diabetic, and full-time caregiver. Lea miraculously survived necrotizing pancreatitis in 2005, still undergoing surgeries to complete her recovery, and is a terific wife, mother and grandmother. Larry started the blog to share the Hartford Letters, detailing PWD's daily experience with pancreatitis, and to keep her hundreds (perhaps thousands) of well-wishers informed of her progress. When there is a cure, Larry and Lea will celebrate and thank God.
