Thank you so much. I will keep reading any ideas that anyone can post, and print this thread out this weekend.

One question I have--which does not deserve a new thread--is has anyone ever had to take over advocacy for a loved one who is suffering from some disease?

Bless my father, he wants to do everything, but he's shy about some of the central, basic issues he is struggling with, such as the pain, but also depression, fatigue. He's embarrassed to say these things, and I want so badly to intervene, but I promised him I would not do that without his permission.
