Hello LarryVogt, Welcome to the group. What an introduction you chose. I see you're recently diagnosed and more than likely frightened by it. It scared the hell out of me. But you're doing the right thing and researching it. Learning about it and what you can do. Well here there is years of experience and a wealth of information from around the world. People that have traveled this road long before me. Read in the resource section, and search in there, look through the archives of similar questions.
