I've really been overwhelmed by many of the replies on this thread.

I want to respond to some... but am finding it emotionally difficult.

But I really do want to say thank you.
The support and fellowship you guys give me is so awesome! I am very grateful.
I know that my situation is ongoing and I am very grateful for those of you who consistently support and encourage me despite the tediousness and frustration and the way things drag on.

So often your input is so helpful and so encouraging.
I love being part of this community.

Blessings
Cat.
