RG,
No easy answer here, just that I have followed all the bad things you have had to endure since I joined here. I will offer that I have had 16 surgeries since 2000, several times they wrote me off. I guess getting the support from my family and church is what got me through and with a better outlook than when it all started. I am sure Mrs. Grouch is with you totally, take strength from her support. I can't offer a solution to you but I will tell you that I have kept you on my prayer board through this and won't take you off anytime soon. Please keep all of us posted on your trials and any progress you may have. Best wishes for a recovery to come your way.
Bill
