Cindy, he's in. If my John were to read this, he would say that in all fairness, we should also have a "most nagging caregiver" contest and he would submit my name in Bold letters. By the way, I think it was your suggestion I took about printing and casually leaving around posts that I hoped he might read. I've started doing that and he is reading them and that's how the 1st smoothie went down[after 2 days of almost no food]. Now that the rad tx is starting to take its' toll, I am printing info about thrush, sores in the mouth, etc. and leaving them "around" also. He finally asked the Rad nurse about pain meds. today. Where there's a will, there's a way. Amy
