Anita,

thanks so much for you post. it helps so much to hear about others going thru this and making it out the other side ok. i guess i would feel better if i could do this now. waiting is difficult for me. I have a great family and friends, they always take good care of me when i need their help. can you tell me about the swelling in his face? how bad was it? emotionally how did he handle the long recovery?

thanks so much
gina
