The other thing I noticed is that whilst H and you are both smiling - yours is a little sad (this is the only word I can come up with but it's not quite right) - I must remember to be extra nice to my husband during this time too - but not too nice or he might think I've done something to the car!

Thank you, Susie. It's very easy to get caught up in the day-to-day issues that confront us... awaking at 3:30am to take pills and prepare to go to dialysis; a new pain - is it something to fret about?; fatigue (for both of us). Your thoughtful post reminds me to look back to May 2006 when Vern was first diagnosed and recognize just how far we've come. He's here! Two years longer than any of his docs 'predicted'. He's walking with a walker now, not in a wheelchair. He's home, not in the hospital. These are indeed reasons to celebrate. I wish both you and Hamada continued success with his Velcade treatments. I'm here cheering you on from 'across the pond'. ♥ A wonderful reminder to celebrate how far we’ve come. Thank you, Susie.
