Christine,
You are very wise and you certainly hit the nail on the head. Jon, this is still relatively new to you and you are young, so it is no wonder that you are impatient. Everyone's situation is different, and we all have negative feelings from time to time. I understand Slim's feelings as well. This is such a horrible disease, and most of us had no clue what was involved until we, or a loved one got it. Remember, we are all here to support each other. There are days that I feel that the quality of my life sucks, too. But I just keep on keepin' on; that's all that any of us can do. Hang in there.
