Interesting thread, I agree with all of you. I know what you mean Jennie-you've had a rough few weeks for sure. Watching your Erik go thru another surgery and another recovery...it is tough for sure.

Tammy I think it is every bit as hard to be the caregiver angel as the patient.

Christine, you are right...somehow we manage to adapt to our new imperfect lives. Maybe because in the back of our minds we know we have come thru such a big battle that we need to just be happy with what we have... I know I for one am grateful.

Charm, you always know the right things to say.
