Thanks, Kelly and Deb, for your replies. I am still recovering from the tonsilectomy/biopsy but am trying to eat as much as possible! I'm 5'6" and weight 130 lbs, so I know weight management is going to be an issue with me since I can't afford to loose too much weight.

Hubby is on board as are both my parents; my Mom and Dad are both retired and live only 11 miles from my house, so while hubby is at work, they should be able to care for me when I get to that point. They have come to all of my appointments so far, I hate putting them through this, but they want to help and I know I am going to need them BIG TIME. I guess you never outgrow needing your Mommy, eh?! Thanks again, I'll let you know how I'm doing.

Chris
