Sabies, I joined the group! Thank you so much for the support and for recommending the group. I know that ultimately Duncan will be happier because he won't feel so stressed about having to watch out for me all the time...I called some trainers and left messages. I can't get phone calls at work so I left my voice mail number and asked them to let me know when would be a good time to get in touch...I know the one guy charges $100 for an inital consultation so I guess I better start saving up some money for the training sessions...

Thanks for your help and I'll keep everyone posted on what I find out!
