Thanks so much, MissLaura, Rohag, and Dee! Yes, my husband's timing was pretty -- crappy. for lack of a better word. I would like to think he could've waited a bit until I was on steadier footing, so to speak, instead of dumping that news on me literally the day I was discharged.

Yes, my therapists all know the situation. I am trying hard to build up a social support network, which I need so badly right now. We have moved around so much that it's been hard to maintain a consistent one. I do have several very kind and supportive long-distance friends and relatives who have been communicating through e-mail, and I have one good friend here in the town where I live. And thank goodness I'll be in individual and group therapy. I am praying that will be sufficient to keep me from spiraling downward again.

The vacation time will be tough, I know. I am trying to brace myself, and have been mulling a trip myself out of town to visit a friend.

I really appreciate all the support I have received from you all. I count PC as one of my support systems.

Many thanks, again!
