It turns out that our vet, Doc Knappenberger, gave her our address. She lives in Perimmon Hill, so we're practically neighbors. She gave me Communion which I've sorely missed, and then annointed me with oil for an extra blessing. She is going to see me every week and bring me Communion until my trip and then once I return. Thank you, God, for this gift today! I have to stop typing now because I can't see so well through tears.

That's really wonderful to hear, Ed. You should talk to her often. Pastors see many people dealing with serious illnesses and will have a lot of help and perspective. I would say that the spiritual self is more important to keep healthy than the body and a dose of that might really be a balm for you and your spirits.
