Oh my gosh, I can't believe the wonderfully supportive responses, and the feeling of maybe I am NOT alone!! Thank you all so much. Winding down here from Day 1 - took good care of myself today with a slow yoga class. I'll write more tomorrow. Thanks to everyone! It's so great to read that there is hope. As the years go by it starts to fade. Maybe it is not too late.
Goodnight,
Jeannie
