Hi Joe, Mate, I've been following you for a while. I've been reading your story and tracking how you are going. You're a survivor. FWIW, that's a badge of honour. Everybody deals with such sudden, large, life changing experiences differently. I think that it's really a personal way of how we deal with this. I'm not sure that there's a right or a wrong way of getting through it. Just a "what's the right way for me" and a "how the f^#k am I going to get through this?". Some times we make decisions that, perhaps, we should have thought about a bit more. I've been there. I've done that. I was in my 20's and it changed my life irrevocably forever. It was at this point that I started to take the attitude of, well, this has happened, but how can I be better than I was before? Why limit myself to only getting back to normal. So I tried to turn the situation around. It's not always possible, but if I fail, at least I know that I tried. And I'll probably learn something about myself in the process. This sounds like what you are doing, we're just using different ways to get try and get to the same place. Keep us updated mate. -s
