My apologies if I offended

Thanks, all. I'm so grateful to still be able to communicate online, even if my typing is somewhat suspect. I know there are so many others in a much worse place. Keep up the battle!

I am German I like when people are direct. I appreciate any comments form your side. Please excuse my many spelling mistakes, I am not perfect with my English. The posting board does not have a spelling option.

Mary,

No offense taken at all.  This diagnosis sucks most especially for the patient who is dealing with their own mortality as well as physical, emotional and cognitive deficits to name a few.  We as caregivers have our own set of issues that we're dealing with but ultimately we're all in this together.

So for you to be cranky -- is to be expected and understood and is also totally warranted -- although I have to say that you don't seem cranky to me.

Prayers to you -- I hope the deficits that you are encountering are only surgery related.
