Thanks for the kind words but believe me I have had a lot of very bad days, down days, struggle, sleepless nights, etc. I found a big lifeline here and elsewhere, and I am just taking things one day at a time. Also honestly I would say my W's MLC is in the "lighter" end of the spectrum, I read the behaviour of others spouses here and am horrified. Also no kids which makes it less complicated. So in a rather ironic way I consider myself lucky.
