John,

For what it is worth, my prayers go out to you. Do not despair, remember those who do not survive, are often the ones who give up. Fight all the way kicking and screaming. It appears you have done your homework; knowledge is, as we all know the first tool in survival. At 48, my body is giving me the signals that my participation in rescues will someday come to an end. I do not look forward to that day, but recognize we all have some limitations imposed upon us by time. When things seem down, draw upon the strengths of family, friends and those here, it is NOT a sign of weakness, but of being human. Pete
