Dear JoanB, I am so happy for you that the DX process is over..

Now, at least, you have been validated and are not an idiot.
As far as telling people, tell your close family, and allow them to be
supportive and helpful. At work, you may have to tell your Boss,
especially if you're staggering. You may take a cane to work, and
just let them wonder, but,at least they won't think you are drunk.
Best of luck and wishes to you, as you join us in our journey..
