Thank you Frankie and Sapper. I do feel like I'm always apologizing. He has cut off again. So, I'm just going to ride it out. But, it's true. I am so proud of him for starting his healing process- and going into his pain every week. I can see it's been killing him the past 6 months.He's made so many lifestyle changes to help him cope, some of them are really wonderful, some of them are hurtful. I need to just bite my tongue and let him do what he needs to do.Your posts are really very useful. Thank you so very much. I will keep referring back to them over the next few weeks.
