Christine,

From another 3 timer - It is indeed frustrating when we seem to be doing fine and then get hit again. Facing the unknown is scary no matter how much faith one has. I have found strength in the love, prayers and support of family and friends, belief and trust that there is a reason for everything that happens and that all is for the good no matter how awful it seems.

Facing a long recovery is very frustrating and especially upsetting after you think all the bad is over. You have done well in preparing and I wish you a complete and speedy recovery.
