RE: Mom and Dad

You pretty much had changed the diet portion because most of the food was affecting you, so it won't be too much of a change. The lifting thing, that limits the grandchildren that you can carry, but since most of them are old enough to walk, you should be okay there as well. Now, carrying Dad on your back while taking him to the neighbors so that he can do service, will just have to stop. And the burdens of your life need to be put on someone else's shoulders...other than that...I think you are all set.


Seriously, I am glad that it isn't cancer. We have seen to much suffering from this among our loved ones.

I am very glad that it isn't cancer, even though it still isn't a bed of roses.  Please, you and Tim take it easy and follow the doctors' advice - Tim can heal and hopefully you can respond to the treatment without further procedures.  It sounds as though you have everything in hand. (Listen to Mel!!)
We love you both, and please keep us informed as you get better!  :)
