Ladies that you so much for all the practical advice. I am determined to go home and disengage as quickly as possible. Yail, I agree with you that the IHS will be emotionally detrimental. It is my biggest concern. Just had this very conversation with my sister this morning. I plan to go in there with an entirely new attitude and to remain as strong as possible.
I will continue to turn to you ladies for support and advice once I return in a couple of weeks.
