It's coming up on 8 weeks now, and I swear it still feels like it was yesterday most of the time. We are slogging through, though. I am now up in central WI. with our oldest daughter. She and her husband just bought a home, so I am trying to help with furniture, painting, etc. It gives me something to do. I know I can come here for support and frequently do. I also will try to stay around to help those who I know will be coming here newly diagnosed. Nancy, I can't PM you, I am wondering how Steve and you are coping. Please PM me if you need support. My prayers are with you. Lori
