Teresa,
Far from a hero! Just a gal trying to make it through crappy deal, figuring out she isn't wonder woman, life goes on without lists, plan A always falls through, etc. And rediscovering what made me want to marry this guy almost 30 years ago! Finding out that a few great friends are a true gift and making some new friends that are absolutely amazing! I no longer control much of my life, when I've been a control freak for oh so long and that is a humbling experience. I have learned that I can trust, to a degree. That was a hard thing to rediscover. I learned that I can reach out, asking for help with things was also hard to relearn. Opening up to strangers, well, I no longer feel like we're strangers so you have helped me tremendously with all your encouragement, kind words, and virtual support. I know I would not have been brave enough to speak up about things with my care team had I not joined this community and had the reassurance from you and Colleen that care at Mayo is so individualized. You have your struggles, yet you find time to prop me up. You, sweet lady, are a true hero!

Hubby is definitely a keeper! You are both planning and preparing well for this experience. The past few days you have come to mind (often) and I've been praying for you. You are now one of my heroes!
