Some Zen Wisdom for you - Nothing exists but momentarily...One thing flows into another....observe things as they are, let everything go as it goes. This is to put everything under control in its widest sense.***You will find this to be the best thing you could ever have done for yourself and your family. I know I did. May God keep you at this side as you travel this new journey. I pray for a speedy and easy recovery. Good luck and God Bless!!! Keep us posted when you reach the "other" side.
