Congrats to you and your husband, Stacey. I know it's been tough-and will continue to be for a while, but with each others' help and coming back here as often as you want will get you through it with panache' and aplomb. (how 'bout THAT for a recovery statement????) ;-)
I didn't think I was THAT skinny at the end of my RT, but a pic taken then-thank God that was about the ONLY one-showed something that looked only vaguely human...huge, sunken eyes, gaunt face and arms that're little bigger than your basic skin 'n bones. I'm fat 'n happy now(all of 157, but only 5'7") after much "comfort food" and lovin it~!~
