Lisa,

Your entering the toughest part of the program, but I can tell you from the experience that the kids adapt and bounce back the fastest. My 13 year old got used to some of my new limitations and was even suprised when I started doing the normal stuff again as I recovered.

I just got back from a two day celebration of the 100th aneversary of the Boy Scouts, camped overnight for two night (28 degrees)and walked in a 5 mile parade. 4 months ago that would have been an impossible task. My kid was actualy impressed with me doing normal stuff.
