Hi Vanessa and Jeff,

So glad you found this site, I know what Jeff means about being addicted to it. When I first found it I was on all the time!! I spent the first weekend glued to the laptop. It really has changed my life. Vanessa, I think there has to be care givers brain...I don't how you guys do it. I always say I think it's easier to the patient. Sounds like you are awesome at what you do. How is Jeff doing? I read most of this post so forgive me if this was mentioned. Is Jeff seeing a therapist? I think I saw something about this. If he is, I think that is awesome. It took me 2 years to take that step. The first 2 years during all the appointments and surgeries I was on auto pilot. Then one day I cracked. I went to the therapist and cried for the entire hour..man did that feel good. I'm a new woman today and still see my therapist every 2-3 weeks.

I'll be thinking of both you and look forward to reading your posts.

Suzanne
