Oh, LTS, I wish I could come help out a bit- but more than that, I hope you can find a doc who will listen and above all, I hope you FEEL BETTER SOON!

maire-anne, keep posting those walks- one of these days I'm-a gonna take one!

WYS, love, I do know about CPE. Never did it, meself, but it seems like something you were made for- or perhaps a direction to pay attention to, while the collar dangles in the distance? Other unexpected doors (or windows!) might be poised and ready to open?

SRS, best wishes on the insurance stuff. I'm uninsured at the minute, hoping to correct that in the fall, once a bunch of monthly costs are over with. Just have to stay perfectly healthy until then!
