Blackfoot, sorry to hear you are having to go through tough times. I suppose many feel that you have so much confidence we forgot about your D. By reading your posts, I see it has been hard on you. I wish for your sake it would have been easier or I could have given some words of comfort but know that I can't do much.
I would like you to heal as best as you can. It sounds like the M is over on paper but is never over in the heart.
