Thinking of you and your family. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier.
Hope things get better soon. Get well soon. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too.
Sending good thoughts. I work in healthcare and wanted you to know people are on your side. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like. God bless.
Stay strong. Get well soon.
