I edited my first post to explain that I'm not facing each and every "if situation." It actually turned out to be good therapy for me to write out all of those things and think about a variety of issues that many people do have to face and decide what to do. Maybe it should have just been part of a "wonder" thread?

Alffe, you're right! Me, too -- plus my hair was thick and curly when it first began growing back. LOL!

Nik-key and Tamiloo, thanks for caring.
