Thank you all SO MUCH! I SOOOO appreciate all of the kind words, empathy and support! XOXO
Ok, so with all of my horrible computer skills, I finally managed to use a photo I just took of myself and put it into my avatar. Just knowing the word avatar is an accomplishment for me!

But, as you can see, I didn't know how to post it properly so that it's vertical! I'll see if my husband can tweak it for me. I don't really have any before shots because I really did a nice job of avoiding the camera! Now, I'm happy to take pictures!
