Thanks, all. I am over the initial shock and despair and trying to find the best way forward. The incredible stress present in my/our life at the moment isn't helping, for sure. Haven't told anyone in the family yet; cannot add to present issues. Only one friend knows; she is a rock.
I wish I could just ignore the stupid thing or live with it, but it is too bad, I know that already. The amount of output is insane and I'm already starting the round of infections. Yay. Surgery #way-too-many, here we come.
