First of all, thank you for posting all of this. And it's good you have managed to keep your sense of humor. When we put ourselves through this much, we expect better results. I would be terribly disappointed to have a hole in my ass too. I am sure the thin, older person who used to be MO is every PS nightmare. My fingers were crossed for you and I was hoping you would get great results. I am still hoping you will see more improvement over time.
My personal wet dream is to go to someone like Agha or maybe Costa Rica or Brazil and just stay there till I was brand new. Not likely anything like that will ever happen. It took me years to save 10K in discretionary funds and just when I thought I had enough to do something, I have to spend it on a new roof. I am happy to have the money to do it but it sure wasn't how I wanted to spend it. Sigh! Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket. It's probably the same odds as me being able to ever save up enough money to to actually do it!
