fm,
Been lurking and want to say that your resolve - and taking difficult, positive steps in getting info and exploring options is admirable.
Often we are paralyzed or think we don't have the courage for certain things. But we do. It's there. We just have to summon it up. Good for you.

I am pulling and praying for you.

"My soul, be satisfied with flowers,
With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them
In the one garden you may call your own."
