I apologize for misunderstanding where you stood in terms of my pdocs disclosure of his illness. Your posts always give me food for thought, sometimes pretty literally…(yum, chocolate) and often trigger ideas in me to write about. I’m sorry for the mix-up, but very happy the mix-up allowed me to open up more in my post.

Thanks for the boost to my self esteem in your comment. I too admire you and your blog. I find it fascinating.

I believe it was imperitive, and a well thought out, and difficult decision by my pdoc to self disclose the way he did. I will write a bit of my history in my blog today and I think it will become apparent how him not disclosing would have led to a huge amount of distrust on my part.
