I want to thank you both so much for allaying my fears and relating to what I'm going through at this difficult time in my life. While I'm not in therapy at the moment, I find that I derive considerable relief from visiting places like this and sharing experiences with other people. When I discover that I am not the only one who has ever gone through this, it gives me great comfort but of course that little voice inside of me never wants to give up with the "what if's". Maybe I shouldgo to the ER every time I take a walk because I could have been stung by a killer bee on a numb spot of my body while I was distracted and did'nt know it and now I have a "spot" on my arm. I used to dread surgery and things like that but the mind seems to be the real enemy.
Thanks again (((((((hugs))))))
