Thank you, Kim, for the feedback. I agree that it gets a little easier to deal until something "new" shows or time for the ole checkup. We took a little trip to New York over the weekend and it was hard at first to let go of the fear, but by the end I wasn't hardly thinking about it at all. I really appreciate your words of encouragement!
