GR--Everything you said, IMHO--is right on target. Also, INMO, your mother made the right decision. Going through the malpractice suit was far worse than the cancer treatment--even the mastectomy part.
You are essentially on trial and it's terrifying and you feel like you're being thrown to the wolves. I don't think I've ever been as mentally tested in my life--nothing even comes close. And the only coaching/prep you get is "just be yourself".
We were the "little guys" going up against a huge law firm. I can only liken it to watching Xtra Heat at the Breeder's Cup...only I held on. LOL
Yeah, I'm doing great and because of being overly aggressive, pro-active AND EXTREMELY LUCKY, it's history. And I'll always love Beyer for digging me out of a dark place.
