Wecome to our home Pam and Jim. You have the right 1st name to be a fighter LOL This is the best place to be and visit often when this garbage sneaks up on you. Some of us have had a rough go and some fairly easy, but even the easy is very tough,. Ask any questions that come to mind and I am sure they will get answered and by more than one. Dang, forgot to say nice to meet you. I have that name too Jim but have had it for 11 more years than you have so far, LOL
