Beau, I don't think I have ever read a post from you, but this is not surprising, as I am only a recent poster myself, and you have obviously had a lot to handle.

I don't personally think it is inappropriate to reach out to friends, or even strangers you share something in common with when you are in pain or worried.

Add my thoughts and prayers to the mix. I wish there was a more happy reason to be reading you for the first time.
