Ärende: hanging in there 261
============================
Hey Michael!

->  HN> The sad thing about "hanging in there" is
->  HN> that it's not a state where you can do much
->  HN> more than just "hang in there"
-> 
-> The good thing about hanging in there is that you can
-> slowly regain strength if you keep a good attitude.
->
That is certainly a goal...
 
->  ...which tends
->  HN> to make life as a whole seem not worth the
->  HN> total effort of getting through what you're 
->  HN> getting through.
-> 
-> Depression - something to be fought tooth and nail.
->
Yes, and it's a tough one to fight!
Anne does not fall into the pit 
very often, and so far I've been
good at getting her spirits up again
quickly.
 
->  A case of the cure being
->  HN> as bad as the disease so to speak.
-> 
-> Well, not really! When the cure is as bad as the
-> disease, it's time to rethink things.
->
When Anne was going through chemo we 
got to see many other's who were 
going through it as well...and some
looked MUCH the worse for the ordeal.
 
->  HN> The good thing about hanging in there is
->  HN> that the memories of better times and
->  HN> the hope of seeing them again is a powerful
->  HN> tool.
-> 
-> Exactly. My job for Annie and Billy is to jolly them
-> along, talk about trips taken and to come. Even though
-> I'm not a planner for me, it's kind of fun figuring out
-> Bill's itinerary, even if it's just an hour runout to
-> Elmira to fetch me from the airport.
->
Yep, something to focus on!
 
->  HN> We persevere!
-> 
-> Another variation on the hanging in there tune. And
-> we shall overcome.
->
indeed...and we shall!
 
->  HN> Anne has finished the radiation therapy and
->  HN> now we look forward to Hormone therapy. Hopefully
->  HN> the effects will be less debilitating and more 
->  HN> tolerable than the things we have already gone
->  HN> through.  
-> 
-> I'm not familiar with it but the sound of it is somewhat
-> more comforting.
->
we have our fingers crossed!
 
-> Softshell green crabs
-> cat: forage, shellfish, main
-> servings: 1
-> 
-> 2 soft-shell green crabs, cleaned
-> 4 ts butter or enough to cover the bottom of the pan
->
How you gonna clean a softshell crab?
Or are you meaning to scrub them and 
remove any exterior "junk"?
 chat with you soon!
