Boy Liz, did you hit the nail on the head! I feel forever changed and mentally exhausted. And I still have my hubby here....5 weeks out of treatment and almost back to normal. I can't explain it...I should be joyous over Bill's quick recovery but I keep letting fear creep in and take over my optimism. So, I guess, I as well as Bill will have to find the new normal.
