Hi Yorky ! I was happy to read your post in that you have been quite busy preparing. Medication and counseling play a big part in this whole picture, and having your soul mate at your side will make a tremendous difference in walking this path. I love her response when you told her ! Sounds as though she is going to be incredible strength for you.
