Danny..........I agree with you and Joanna so much about how lucky we are....and how thankful we should be. There is ALWAYS someone in worse shoes than I am whether it be with their health, financial issues, or a family torn apart for what ever reason. As bad as a cancer diagnoses was/is, as bad and intrusive as my surgery was, and as difficult as the treatment regime was, I somehow survived. I didn't realize it while going through treatment, and even after treatement it took me awhile to realize that many, many good things came to me because of my cancer diagnoses and treatment. No, I wouldn't want to go through it again, and no, I don't wish this on anyone, but I will say it again and again: Good things do come out of bad situations, we just have to be open to the possiblity and welcome the situation as it is handed to us. Sincerely, Donna

PS Danny, I'm with Joanna, I can't wait to hear of the day when you have completed your first solid meal! IT WILL HAPPEN.....Keep up the great attitude! Enjoy your posts!
