It is so heart warming to come home and read these posts. I guess you all have felt that way before.
Liz - thanks for asking Margeret to contact me. I looked for her blog regarding CG + mommy and couldn't find it. I found posts by her and enjoyed those, but didn't find that part. Of course I didn't read them all. It's so sweet of you to "watch out" for me and to recognize that need I have.
David - you are such an inspirational guy. Thank you for the advice - I will take it to heart, I actually printed it out too. I am trying to encourage Dan to post, he's never been a big fan of the computer. I handle all our family correspondence, photos, etc. With the business that we own he does all hands-on work and I do the office work. I have been so excited about meeting you guys though and reading all the stuff that I have been talking about it alot. He seems very interested and I told him I'd print some stuff for him. I think that will get him more interested.
SueMarie - thank you for your kind words.
Today I took Dan to have the tooth extracted and that went well. Just some expected pain. The oral surgeon said the RO told him he wants to start rad ASAP and he (OS) is afraid the area may not be totally healed in time, but said RO told him he couldn't wait. I guess this is probably normal, but as I was sitting in the waiting room I kept thinking OS would come tell me that as he was extracting the tooth he saw something... I even asked him that when he called me back at the end. I just keep expecting bad things this month.
