Anne: I really appreciate the welcome & support, as I'm sure most new people do to this forum. Since I've lived with this all for so long, and given how naive the healthcare providers have been themselves way back then, I've pretty much "grown up" thinking that I was just more a freak of nature. This pegging & outlook from others meant that I never really did a lot of own personal education on the whole thing.....but that's all changed BIG time now, thanks to y'all.

Can you access the internet from a library or other public (free) source? I've found the support here has made the difference for me between a hard road and total disaster.

Yes, I'd already had the library access as my backup plan with this innevitable cutoff of my communication line <barring having the winning lottery ticket before that becomes a reality...lol>
But while I've still got it, I'm forcing myself to sit longer doing research with all your help & experiences as my guide, while the getting's good. Already my outlook has gone from the doom/gloom of total disasterish to a road I can still walk & win on, specially with the support that abounds withing this forum & it's amazing membership.

this place gives me much hope for my future at last & for that there will never be enough hugs & thanks
