Hi Maxene, Wow what a story. I don't know where to start. The tape isn't as bad as you think but its surprising what actually worries us about all this stuff. I know what you mean about being scared of not surviving. I have lived with that thought everyday for the last 6 years. Amazing what you do when you want to survive.

I wish you and your family all the best. Let us know how you are going and remember there is always someone here for a chat and a shoulder to cry on.
Take care.
