Thank you all for the new posts! We have laid low this weekend. Spent time with our 7 month old lab puppy, enjoyed the sunshine from our back patio, had dinner with some friends (needed to leave more early than normal because my husband was tired). Today we took our jeep on a trail for a picnic with the puppy. It was great to get out of the house and do normal things. Actually...this dx is making us slow down and smell the roses. We have been a on the go couple for the past 5 years with my husband's business, do alot of traveling and working weekends. But the past two weekends at home I've been so engrossed with research it was driving me crazy. I read an entire book in 2 days on caregivers and survivors of head and neck cancers.
I can say I really take comfort in having a place to learn and share.
