Karen,
Your good news bolsters my faith that anything is possible! I just had a followup with my PS and he really shot a hole in my expectations. Told me I'm the worse case he's ever seen and I shouldn't expect much. Just the day before I met a woman who had very much the same experience as we have had and she looked wonderful (considering). My PS absolutely refused to believe it when I told him about her. I'm sure he would find your success unbelievable as well. I need to convince him to become a member of OCF so he can read these success stories for himself. You are an inspiration!!
