I'm sorry, I've not seen this thread until just now since my machine has been in Bryce render mode for the last 61 hours and 19 minutes. I'm so sorry to hear you're having these difficulties but am very happy that the initial examination indicated that it wasn't as bad as was first thought. I'm sending you a nice strong, soothing hug together with warm wishes for a speedy recovery and hope that all future findings are favorable ones.
