Hi Smilie46 - from across the Tasman Sea........ have read all of your thread, pleased to meet you and hope all will sort itself out for you. I have had ECT, and it worked well for me, despite its bad (sometimes) press. Life certainly throws us unwelcome curve balls from time to time, eh?
I think it's neat that we can come and post on SF - with months in between, if we feel like it!
