I still lurk around a bit but I haven't been posting very much the past week or so because, well, things have taken a turn for the *much* better over the past week or so and I haven't been waking up in the middle of the night with all sorts of gloom and doom thoughts to dwell on. This site was not only a wonderful place for commiseration and support, but it was a healthy outlet for venting. And in having a place to vent, it gave me the opportunity to really look at what I was venting about and see 1) whether I had an actual qualm or whether I was just being over-emotional about something (in other words, was it real or was I just getting nuts about something?), and 2) whether I needed to present the issue better because if something was eating me bad enough to vent about it here, it was guaranteed to be something I would be bringing up to WAW several hours later because I'm the type of person who needs to get things out in the open.

Anyway, I'm a bit short on time to write a whole account of the past week right now, but for now, suffice to say that very many WONDERFUL AND WONDROUS things have happened that I'll share sometime within the next day or so because I think they could be hopeful for a lot of other people now and later.

We're a LONG way from having a healed M, so for now let's just say that in one month, we've seen it progress from being wheeled in DOA to being moved to a semi-private room in serious but stable condition.

What? Over? Did you say "over"? Nothing is over until we decide it is! Was it over when the Germans bombed Pearl Harbor? Hell no!
