Kerry, I don't remember seeing in an earlier post if you and Stephen have talked about applying for disability [there is short term disability available] There is a good amount of legwork involved, but he should qualify and it might take some of the strain off. John applied and was accepted when he could no longer talk to customers, was in bed most of everyday and on lots of medication. Remember, youall did not bring this on yourselves. It's a life altering illness and you must fight it with that attitude. Amy
