I think to keep yourself mentally healthy you need to turn things like this into a positive. And it really was. I don’t think I really had to put much effort into making it a positive because there really were some very positive things that came out of it. I think experiencing that feeling of being supported and loved was just wonderful. Just like after all the surgery, in that initial month. It really was a very uplifting time even though it was a time when there was some fear as well. I managed mostly to push the fear aside and umm… go with it, because I was so wonderfully supported, that was great. I think if I went through it without that, it would have been a whole lot tougher.
