Wow, Miss IC, I have to give you credit for getting to this place so quickly. You are a stronger woman than me for sure.
Ok, talked mom into making my dad a nice home cooked meal to take with us to the nursing home so I got a few more minutes.
LFL, I'm not so sure it's strength or if I'm at a certain place already. Red and Saffie have been a big help in their e-mails and it's helped to open my eyes to how life would be with and without IC. I've seen what it can be like with him (whether we can get back to that...we'll see) and I've made known the fear on here about the thought of losing him to cancer. I don't owe IC anything! But I owe it to myself to at least try. It's not going to be easy and I'm sure we'll have setbacks. Hell, it might not work at all but if I cut myself free from IC, I'll never know.

I'll be very surprised if we don't struggle! I think if I'm able to stick to the boundaries that I've set for myself, then I will be able to stay close to the course I've set.
