Wonderful to hear from you in your own voice, Candace, as you emerge from this horrendous series of ordeals, and without a whisper of self-pity! You are the bravest most tenacious being, and so very lucky to have Lowell as your main man. May you be totally pain-free (at least physically) very soon. You have important work to do! I'm sending healing energy, admiration and warmest wishes for your full return to your life this year. Love from Marcia T.

Great news Candace! And in your own voice! Wonderful to hear. Let's hope the record for pain free days keeps on being broken.

Fabulous to read this paragraph, Candace: "This week set a record for me—three days without excruciating pain, without oxycodone, getting to feel almost normal." Yay for "almost normal"! Given that our whole world is grateful for beginning to feel "almost normal" it feels so good and right that you are as well! Brava to you, in every mood and every day through this whole ordeal! Huge kudos to Lowell and to Mara and Jesse! And so much appreciation for all the rest of your community who are out here cheering you on and loving you so much!

It is wonderful to read this from you, Candace. I am not surprised to read that Lowell has been splendid. And I know the kids have been too. Sending lots of love and just so happy to hear that the pain has diminished significantly!

So fine to hear your voice, Candace, and to hear that you are feeling almost normal! Much love from Gerda and me.

yes, the view from down in the dumps is skewed for sure.. so glad Lowell has been there with the measuring mechanisms! glad to know that these surgeries have worked for u.. you surely deserve it. and astonishingly bravely as ever.. I hope people will donate to your Emma project as I know that cheers u up the most..

Yay Candace! So wonderful to hear from you. We know that Lowell has been amazing, helping you get through this very very difficult time. So glad to hear that you're finally pain free; what an ordeal. Carol and I send you and Lowell, Mara and Jesse all our love and especially to you--a speedy, easy recovery. Eric
