Worst that can happen is a non-response or a NOPE CAN't HELP...then YOU can ask, any ideas of WHO?WHAT TYPE of expert I need? go from there...Lots of phone time, but freebies are just that, free...
DO NOT EVER, get into that mental trap that 'now that I'm sick, I can't do anything right! You are sick, you have to pace yourself, but, you can organize yourself better [even with colors?] than you ever did in a stressful professional life 'cause you can blot out many working distractions and CONCENTRATE on that which is necessary....
I have faith in you, and I see others do as well. - j
