lizatola.....I am proud of you! You have done an esteemable thing....and, that is how self esteem is built. You have proven your strength to yourself...yourself...the most important person of all.
Now, the pride belongs to you...and, nobody can ever take it away from you...
Well played, my dear.
**I can remember my husband going through his series 7....and, it was a bear....even, as smart as he was! so, I have some idea of the sheer difficulty of what you are going through.....
