Sara,

Erik is spot on. If you don't get angry through this thing, you aren't human. That is strictly from a man's perspective. My wife, GOD BLESS HER, is the true warrior. I was just along for the ride. I was so rough on her at times that I can't believe she didn't just haul off and punch me. Actually, she may have and the meds kept me from remembering laugh . God put woman on this earth to bear the pain of childbirth, walk by our side through everything...and push us when we can't keep up with them!
