Very sorry to hear, Amara. That sucks. Just what you needed before  
such a major move. What a nightmare. That'll leave a nasty  
aftertaste, as the one major event which capped all that you've told  
us which you have endured there for years (comparatively, the Story  
of a Box is not so bad).

My best wishes for a rapid recovery of your life.
