I will be extremely grateful to receive any support from a professional at this point....it's been so very difficult trying to manage this on my own, but having done so definitely attests to my strength 
I know that I will feel better just being able to vent...I know I carry a lot of anger regarding my accident...I'm looking forward to being able to let it go so that I can go on with my life...
Can I just say (again) that this forum has been a life saver for me? I am and will always be, very grateful for having found this site...everyone here continues to be very supportive and I really appreciate it
