sounds like you are in an ok place considering...Not officially in hospice means you still have time with the people you love and who love you. And, not being sick from the treatments is not a bad place either. I'm hopeful you are not in pain and can do some things you can enjoy over the next months.

That's a funny story about the beer, and not that the situation you are in is funny, but I understand...you are neither here nor there, don't want to get to the next place, but can't go back to where you want to be. I cannot begin to fathom the multitude of emotions you probably go through on a daily basis. I know you're strong from reading your posts here, and your wife sounds like a wonderful person. Spend time with her, love her, and let her love you.

Drop me a note if you ever want to pm/chat/vent. I will keep sending good vibes your way.
