Good news about your job, and about getting the headache looked at. Thanks for keeping us posted. We'll be pulling for you and looking forward to your next update.

I likened it to just wanting a reset button. It wasn't that I wanted to die, exactly, I just wanted to stop being me, or go back and start over and do everything "right" this time. The lyric in Wilco's "Ashes of American Flags" summed it up perfectly for me: "I know I would die if I could come back new"
