Thank you all for your kind words of comfort. My wife is beginning to get her old positive attitude back and figuring out how to beat this. I nfact she is more positive than I.The difficulty of keeping up a positive aura is breaking me up. I can hold it together when I'm with her, but as soon as I leave I crack up.But, I am getting there and as soon as she comes home to us we will work together on this.Nonetheless my heart is aching and I can't prevent it. My middle son is due home from Cambodia this afternoon and that thought has perked my wife up greatly, in fact her whole demeanor has altered positively as she begins to recover from the effects of her surgery. There still is hope and we , her family must all remember that. Thank you all again, your words are a great comfort in a time when comfort is so badly needed. Thank you .
