Mooneyes I can relate to what you're saying about the easy answer being to chop it up or throw money at it. Like taking your car to the dealer- they don;'t repair anything-they just replace parts! It's like someone asking you what car they should buy but they already made up their mind and aren't even listening to you. It gets real tedious to continually hear, "well, what you should do is..." on any forum or in real life. Always some mofo knows what best for ya, huh? In reality they're spouting off what's best for them. Oh. well.

I killed cancer twice in 4 years, yahoo!, but complications and secondary effects have ruined my "plumbing" to the point where the quality of life just sucks for me. Tomorrow I should be lucky enough to be well enough to take my car to a cruise in. On the other hand I've gone months at a time unable to go outside.

I sure can't tell you to hang in there or any other such witty crap cause I got no idea of your true situation. Ya gotta do what ya gotta do, man.
See ya on the Route someday
