Please use some full stops. This is very difficult to read.

Do you have a question?

[MallyJ]

I don't know what your question might be .... but you evidently had it tough. I hope that your load has lightened somewhat. I think you should get this all down on paper......indeed write a book. I would be very interested..as would your family and others, I have no doubt.
