Jenn,
Please forgive me for being "late to the party" to welcome you to KA. I hate to make excuses because I really do like welcoming new members and providing input where & when I can. I'm still trying to recover from surgery I just had a month ago and now that I'm just back to work, I haven't had much energy left after I get home for much except the couch and then bed. Having a very hard time making the transition I guess.
Anyway, I thought I'd check in at work this A.M. while I had a moment and saw this and didn't want to leave it unanswered. This is a wonderful place with lots of friends. I know I've also put posts up here (as I'm sure most people have) who were expecting a lot more responses than they got to issues that were vitally important to them. I also know from my own personal experience (and I do read most posts) that I can empathize with people and keep them in my prayers, but I don't really know what to say that can lend advise or anything positive, so I may not respond at all. That dosen't mean that I don't care, it simply means I just don't know what to say. Unlike Brad, I'm not very good with words. And belive me, Brad is GOOD with words!!
I would like to offer my welcome to you and add that I am more than willing to help in any way I can even if its only to keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Believe me, without this place over this past 1.5 months with my pre-surgery concerns & post-surgery recovery, I would've gone crazy. There were some really good friends who lended their support with answers to my rants. But I've been here long enough to know that even the friends I have here who didn't respond cared and I'm sure thought and prayed for me.
I would also welcome any PM's if you want and I will always answer those if you ever need to chat with someone. I can at least lend an ear.
Best of luck to you. I hope you get the answers & support you so richly need & deserve.
Glenn
