Jim, Do you think it makes you stronger if you are able to drive yourself and do more of daily things for yourself? I noticed an almost high when I got in my van and drove myself. I don't like being dependent on anyone as it makes me feel weak. I have always been a strong woman so I intend on pulling away and doing my own thing as long as I can. I am glad you had strength and stamina to be able to do that. Does your wife or children drive? My son has took off his job when I was in the hospital some but he works 2 jobs so it is hard for him to help me. I have an appt with Cancer navigators on Monday to try and help me to pay some of these bills I am incuring for my treatment. Angel
