I am sorry you have that blasted disease. You already have been through alot. As far as myself, I have good support on this end. My best friend, and my son, sick with me through all of my medical conditions. I get most of the emotional support I need. when I am particularly scared I come back to this site for encouragement and information. I am blessed as I am not alone in the struggles we all face. I have glad we have this connection to neruo talk. I will be thinking of you during your surgery. I hope you recover quickly, and have no complications to worry about. It sounds like the support you get at home is good too. Please be good to yourself, of course I care about you, and will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. ginnie
