Thank you, Lisa and Neil. 
I do try to be positive most times, but I do remember faltering at times. A good cry is necessary every once in a while.
I will say that the best gift I received when I was hospitalized one of the many times was a book of Far Side cartoons. I like to laugh and I found if I could make jokes or read jokes out loud, it seemed to make things easier for everyone, myself included.
