I know I can't undo the damage that I've done, but I am so thankful I saw two further consultants. If you have the chance, and you think you need it, then do it. I don't have to go back for 2 years, but I can go back any time if I'm worried.

So I'm bowing out of this community, but you will stay in my thoughts.
