Glad you found your way here. As one of the newer ones too who just recently found this great group of people, let me greet you with a welcoming (carefully given, of course)

Wow, you've been through a lot in a short amount of time in comparison to my own story. And while there's so much that I'm just learning, I can't really offer much advice when it comes to the medical/legal/governmental fields (trust me, I struggle vastly with them all too....think most of us do for longer than anyone should have to). But I will offer one piece of advice that was given to me early on when I first posted to this thread for intro....

Copy/paste your posts over into the regular part of the forum (underneath where the sticky notes & links & this part are) with your own start of a thread....that way more of the great people that wander the TOS halls will have a chance to see it & get to know you & be of such support, it'll blow you away. It sure has me....they are all truly angels & so helpful, sincerely supportive & just better than friends/family because they all understand like no others can.

I wish you all the very best & again, welcome, Mimi
