Resting and recovering is exactly what you need to be about now, keep it up- get your strength back, and continue on. I am reminde of the verse that says, what is intended for bad, God will make good for thse who love him. You are right that this can be a character building time for you. I pray strength and hope and courage upon you. And health, of course. A new esophagus, eh? Just wow. We live in amazing times, filled with wonder. Hang in there, babe. You can do this! Heck, you already are. bonnie
