Hey Mike,
You are absolutely right! My sister sent me a text massage about how "bad" everything in her life was at that moment. She says "can it get any worse?" I replied, yes, in my car, on my cell phone, I texted her back and told her "yeah, it could definately be worse"...why??? how could I text her back, I was in my car!!! Well, I was waiting for a funeral procession to pass. I told her this, she stopped texting me.
Someone will always suffer more, have less money, more bills, be in poor health or caring for someone in poor health, and they will be our hero's. I have plenty of "issues" but they are just life to me, others might think it's so hard, but I'm used to it. A friend with a child with much more severe disabilities than mine says she thinks I have it hard, while I look at her and can't even fathom being in her shoes for a day. Everyone has something going on in their life, and for them, it is something to complain about, or live with. It takes some longer than others to come to the conclusion that they have it way better than they think they do.

I'm glad that you have met John, he sounds like one heck of a guy! We all hope things work out with the next round of exams and someone can help you. It's not even sad, it's beyond sad, that no one, in all this time, has taken the interest in helping you.

Caroline
