Everyone Thanks for the support and good ideas. Bev & I did have long talks about this trying to see if this third time around could be smoother than the other two. It's going to be a darker journey than before, but I'm confident we will emerge into the light again. I appreciate your comments. The problem of course is that if there was a magic answer to my question, you gals would undoubtedly have already shared it plus, you would have already been on Oprah and giving private sessions to Michael Douglas' and Roger Ebert' wives. I do notice that we don't have many patient / caregiver couples on the forum, it's almost always one or the other. In our case, Bev prefers human not computer contact and has never been a big fan of cyberspace, preferring to make her fabric art or chat with customers at the cooperative gallery at the Torpedo Factory rather than stare into pixels. Rest assured that I never give up and never give in. Not fighting to win is an alien concept to me. I'm staying positive, and I'm in great company in this forum. While the recurrence club has a nasty initiation rite, it's members are inspirational. (I teased Kerri in a PM about being competitive and not letting her have all the bad news in this forum and she laughed - she has spirit) Only you understand what Bev and I are going through, so your posts mean quite a lot Keep the Faith Charm
