And.for what itas worth, within a month or so i should be getting news that will tell me how bad off i really am. If its bad bad, then we will do what has to be done and see what is left.of me. If it is bad, but still some time before there is no way out, i will likely get another HC if i can do so wo harming my kids' futures and drive it until. If.it is "good" then i will base action on how many years ive got until action is mandatory.
