Cindy, he could always come over to China, a coupld of us regular posters live fairly close to each other. Hav gotten together for breakfast already. But I don't think he'd much like the 14 hour plane ride.

Have to second what Mark said about keeping busy helping a lot. After my second go round with surgery and radiaton I had planned to take about 3 weeks off for recuoup. The week after I finish treatments my boss comes into town and mentions the following monday they're going to check a new factory, could I go to take a look also. Used to do human rights compliance audits of manufacturing here. So, about a week after I'm out of treatments, I'm wandering around factories again, then another "project" wound up working almost full time.

Not for everybody, for sure, still battled bouts of depression, slept at lunch, by the time work was done for the day was so tired would sleep most of the way home. But the feeling that I had responsibilities to others kept me going and motivated, so I ground on.
