Sil, I'm so sorry to hear about this news. I am, however, very happy that you feel you're able to ground yourself from the new apartment and feel fit for the challenges in the new millieu.
Build up slowly, take it easy. We'll be here for you with an ear, as always, if you need it.

p.s. My advice concerning Madusa... stay out of her sight until you're better able to cope with her. She'll come to love your spirit, and you'll win her over quickly.
