My hat's off to you in respect.

I've read some DUers whine about their problems that are miniscule in comparison to even my relative little ones.

I read your wonderful posts here every day where you've shown not one inkling of self-pity. Now to learn of your battle gives me just more respect for you. So glad you found this great physician.

Wishing you much luck. Keep us posted please.

P.S. wondering where this great physician is located. Thanks.
