I am like that right now. I have read 4 books, and have about 5 more to read. I have a notebook full of questions for the Specialist, and have faxed him all my info so we can spend QUALITY time instead of him reviewing the info while I am there...LOL
But, then we reach a point where we can't answer our own questions, and research tuns scarey. Sounds like that is where you are!! Hope you get all the answers you need, and it isn't as bad as you think.
