Alpaca, I was an English major before I realized that business was more my style and allowed for a fairly diverse field of career choices! Although, I don't know if it helped me much because I still have absolutely no clue what I want to do smile. Thank you so much for the words of advice. Positive thinking is definitely something that I am working on and it's nice to hear that it is manageable. I have not seen "Breaking Bad" yet, but have been told it's good. Maybe something to do in the hospital? I hear it's on Netflix. I wish you the best of luck in your RT and will keep you in my thoughts as well.

Anne-Marie and Cheryl, thank you both again for giving me some encouragement. I am so grateful that I found all of you and this website. It has been tremendously helpful already. Hope you are all well.
