I can't thank you all enough for your help. I am just amazed at the

time you all took to share your experiences and offer your

assistance. We are still so new to OCD, are still struggling and

finding our way. It is so hard and I am truly grateful for this

group. I'm going to print out all of your responses and share them

with my husband as we make our decision. I wish I could offer

something back to you all!

BIG HUGS,
