Amy, I am swallowing, and I've been working really hard at putting on some extra weight I've managed to put on 9 pounds in the past three weeks (no small feat for a guy who normally wieghs around 130)

My primary support is my wife ( a HUGE help) and my kids. My Mother and sisters have decided to choose this time to attack my wife for imagined slights over the years, so that part of the support network is gone, and the attendant stress has not helped at all.

I'm trying really hard to keep positive, it's just really getting to me this past week or so. Thanks for the encouragement!
