Day 18

Just wanted to let everyone know that I am on day 18 now and feeling really good.  Not back to normal by any means but every day is better then the one before.  For all of you just starting, you can do this.  Those first 7 or 8 days are tough to get through.  When I was going thru them, I was sure the days would last forever.  But I am on the other side now and I am here to tell you that it gets better.  You need hell week to appreciate life again.  Its like your body punishing you for you punishing it.  The body says, do that crap to me again and see what I do to you the next time.  :-)  Anyway, thanks so much for all the support.  You guys are great!  I hope that I have been able to help some along the way too.  

For any of those being forced to do this alone and work at the same time...That was me.  So hard to do, but you can make it through it. Just put on that tough grin and go with it.
