trinity, it's your right to bump up your own post if you need to update it, answer someone's questions from another post or ask for continued support! nothing pathetic about it. I've gone and rescued my thread from the 3rd page a time or two to update it! Nobody thinks that's weird or pathetic.
and even in the times I'm not here on PC, sometimes certain ones stay on my mind, especially when deep or hard things are going on for them .... so even if I haven't been here posting on your thread, you've been in my mind. you're being thought of and supported in spirit, with love and compassion.
