Hi sandi2,
Thanks for the reply. It looks like my posts are not making it through for some reason (my initial thread is littered with blank posts from me now).

I wrote it all out in word first, because I have had historically bad luck with bbcode forums, and was concerned something like this would happen. I have all my details, but not sure how to get them into the post since it keeps showing up blank. Hoping an admin will identify the issue.

I agree with your assessment, and can definitely appreciate that my apprehension could 100% be that it's uncomfortable recommendations (even if it's good - it's uncomfortable to consider).

Hopefully I can get my story up and see what if anything that changes.
I'm sure like many before me, I feel like my situation is unique (I know it's not) and that I surely will yield special recommendations (I'd be surprised).
