I wish that they would tell us just how difficult and frustrating the post tx's can be. I can tell you from my experience, there are good days and bad ones. What we are going through now are good hours and not so good. I use a lot of positive thinking, I try to fins apositive spin in everything. It's not easy sometimes. Then....when I get alone and jump on here I cry and vent, or like my last one, I celebrate. My mom has a very strong sense of being. I know if it's up to her, she'll get through all this. Give here my best. You are all in my thoughts. Donna
