Thanks again to all. I've felt that I should revisit this thread many times, but circumstances haven't permited me to devote the kind of time that I would like to ECN, much less this thread. You wouldn't think a guy with a name like "The Watt Doctor" would be [Linked Image] by the attention that this thread brought, but I have been. I will say that this thread has been a tremdous lift for me, and I hope that other members will feel free to "vent" from time to time.
One thing that I have learned from all this is that I need a mixture of physical, and office work. It's hard to see progress from behind a desk (others may be able to do it but not me). I always feel better when I contribute by doing part of the work myself. Though taking time off is something that I should do more often, it will be a little more difficult to incorporate into my life. Time off is important, and I am going to have to force myself to do it. The jury is still out (and will be out for some time) on whether I actually carry through with it. Other things I've learned are of a more personal nature, and will most likely remain in this "J-Box" above my neck. I'm sure you all realize that there are a few lose connections, and a bunch of wire nuts up there [Linked Image].
The question remains, "What now?" I think that Chief George "Wounded Leg" Corron answered it well, when he said

Wish I had a magic solution for you, bro., but there ain't one. One foot in front of the other and eventually the walking becomes normal again.

Walking stick in hand,
