Quote - Glad that you made it and lets hope your health only improves. As you say, your story does show matters like this in a very different light.

Thanks :)  In many ways, I feel better than ever.  This just happened on the 24th of May, so it's all still pretty new.  There's a little less wind in my sails, but I am led to believe this is temporary, and I'm already being weaned off the injectible insulin in favor of the pill(s). 

Another reason I'm quieter lately is that I've been getting into Photography.
