Love the buffet idea, Christine. We live fairly close (maybe an hour drive) from Amish country in Pennsylvania so I think I may try to talk Bob into a day trip. Their buffets are unbelievable and we could check out the Christmas decorations (maybe even visit the Lancaster outlets!) Thanks also for the encouraging words on Bob's condition. We are at University of Pennsylvania for treatment so I feel comfortable so far but I know the idea of a second opinion is a good one and we're lucky enough to be close to some really good hospitals. And I try to take little breaks for myself but I have to admit it's hard. I always feel a bit guilty leaving Bob on his own! Guess that's just something I'll have to get over.

Dizz_zey, thank you too for your kind words. It's a challenge for sure. I'm just so angry that after all he's been through (and you've been through), that he has to go through more. Just doesn't seem fair but I guess none of this is fair.

P.S. I think maybe I should go get Bob a cat. Should I name it Dizz_zzey or Christine?
