Rob and Melissa,
My heart goes out to both of you. I wish I had adequate words, but anything I come up with seems to fall flat.
One question for you, Rob, about your care. Is a pain management physician part of your team? It would be, I am quite sure, a helpful addition.
Melissa, you noted you don't know how you will life the life that's being mapped out for you. The specifics will take their shape in time. But I am convinced that you will live your life then as you do now -- with grace and courage.
My thoughts are with everyone here. If I may, I'd like to ask folks here to keep one of our dear fellow journeyers in thoughts and prayers. They are needed; the foe has returned.
Thank you.
Peace be with us.
Venecia
