Hi Mike. We're practically neighbors (well, what's 160 miles between friends?). Welcome to the forum and be sure to come here during the hard days ahead for support and help with the issues that are going to be coming up. I don't think anyone is going to lie to you and tell you it's easy. It definately ain't. Eat all the foods you love now, no telling when you'll be able to enjoy them again
