Thank you for the quick reply and encouragement. A friend directed me to this web site and forum. I like the idea of eating all of my favorite foods now. I've been told to avoid deserts, but my doctor says desert is ok. Is it ok? You hear so many things. Dealing with the anxiety and fear is the hardest. I have begun counseling one day per week and the doctors gave me some anti-anxiety and sleep medications. I'm am an emotional mess and can cry at the drop of a hat. I'm so grateful to be married to a strong and loving woman, but I know this will test our marriage like nothing else. I'm a solo attorney and I'm moving my clients and myself to a larger firm because I want the best for them. They will be in good hands and I will be available to them even if I'm unable to attend Court while I'm being treated. Thank you. Philip. .
