Feel for you..
Man I hate people who steal.. and then the psycological impact it has..
If they want it that bad, go work and get there own
I had a similiar situation.. Hurt my back in Feb, was doing very light work, going to the doc, only to find out the following:
-docs string you along
-your like cattle to them
-you have to do your homework
-when you find the right doc milk him for info and services
long story short, I have made a mess of my back, have bulges, a herniated disk, and pain.. Well now I am heading to a surgeon to see what he says..
So my dreams of finishing my bug have been stolen too..
Just like you hope I can get better, and continue with the dream.. (This bug has so much sentimental value to me)
Take care..
