Eric -

I understand what you are going through. It is not necessarily buttons, but yourself trying to forecast different good or bad futures day to day. I think you should have multiple contingency plans. It is even in the Doctor's signature line - Life is usually all about how you handle Plan B.

I think you are doing the right thing now by giving her space.

BTW... Does anyone feel comfortable with a doctor that packs one of these?...
