AMY you are the best! Thank you for the Thanksgiving Dinner idea, I love it! Im going to have one at my house on Sunday, I will get one last shot to eat what I can. Anyone is invited from this site who would like to attend, and its very casual. I would love to see the people who are in my area, Nellie, DonnaRose, and Jerry. If anyone elso would like to travel you are also welcome. Mashed potatoes and ham are my specialties. This is exactly what I needed, something to look forward to. THANK YOU EVERYONE!!!!! Let me know if anyone can attend smile Back to serious matters, Margaret, my children were remarkably fine without me for the night. You only have 2 more treatments to go, its almost over. Then let the recovery begin!!! I loved your website smile . My daughter stepped up and was responsible and helpful for me. My son has missed work all week transporting me to my appointments, tomorrow he goes back. They are going to do much better than I thought with this. Especially w/ having a nurse come once a week to start, it can be changed up to 5 days a week. The hospital will even send home health aides and therapists for family and personal counseling, all come right to my house all thru my insurance. Now I know w/ this type of support I will be fine to fight this battle and I will succeed. This is exactly what I needed to beat this.
