Blessings to you dear John,
and to your wife . . .
I did not know we had a Scotsman in the group.
Perhaps I did not look closely enough at your profile earlier
to see it

.
I am sorry to hear that your treatment for throat cancer is so unpleasant.
Perhaps after you are a little further along in the treatment
it won't seem to bad.
After all,
each day into it from this end
will be one day closer to the other end . . .
and it may very well save your life.
I am sure that from your dear wife's viewpoint
a little irritability will feel like a small price to pay.
Be patient with yourself,
and concentrate on your better health dear John . . .
now is not the time to 'beat yourself up'.
Your body is going through enough already.
I light a candle for you
and for your wife
as you both go through this experience together
with love . . .
