Hi MELISSAD81... I hope you will understand that the people who responded did so out of caring for your well-being, not to give you a hard time. Truly. I've had quite a bit of interaction with the folks here and they are an exceptionally caring bunch.
You mentioned you'd be talking about this with your Pdoc in 3 weeks. I think that is an excellent idea.

Keep us posted how it goes for you, ok?
