Oh my dear, dear David - Of course there was good and sound reasoning behind the decision to wait on the ovarian cancer issue. You could not have known how long the hospitalization would take. You have been one of the very best caregivers I've ever seen on these forums. Your love and concern and caring for Linda is something to be envied and admired. Please take heart and look for much better days ahead - That is what I am hoping and praying for you and for Linda. Please keep updating us.
