Bill, when I read your post all of the past months came flooding back. My husband had the same symptoms. But... here we are almost 9 months past, and he is ready to go back to work and is gaining strenght every day. This is the right place to be. The people are wonderful and many have been where you are going. YOu can read our saga on "fianlly writing" being informed is the best you can do for yourself. Also for your wife- as a caretaker its tough. I needed this formum more than my husband did. Keep us posted. you are in our prayers. LJ
