@bluehorse, it is so easy to ignore one's own health when in the intense phase of caring for someone close to you. How are you doing? What are next steps for you?

Thank you for your comment. I am doing ok....and I have decided recently to
get help from a therapist to deal with all the life changes . Sometimes I
think that I just stored all the stress and anxiety from that period of
time to deal with later....and then the ET dx on top of the losses,
moving and then this dx feels like too much. So the next steps are to seek
a therapist and continue with the healthy things I try to practice like
exercise , better diet and developing a support system in my new locale.
Sounds like you've "been there"....
