Hi Paul
My Husband is English ( Liverpool ) and I am from Scotland . We have lived in Georgia for 25 years and love it .
With your job I can imagine it must get a wee bit depressing but, you now need to hear of all of us who have fought the beast and won!
Right now start bulking up as much as possible , you are going to need that extra weight.
Get your wife to join us she is in for a rough go of it.
Start calling in all your markers ...you and the family are going to need lots of help . Forget the " British stiff upper lip". When friends ask what they can do , tell them to start website where someone can be in charge of co-ordinating help with meals, transportation, babysitting etc.
I don`t mean to sound mercenary but , I know what you have ahead of you.
You are a young fit guy ...you can beat this .
Take Care
Marica
