Tonya, I'm so sorry that this happened to you and I know how embarrassing it can be. I've been there and done that...its just that it was different circumstances for me. I had people tell me not to let it bother me but that's easier said then done as I am sure you know all to well. This is a very emotional roller coaster your on once DX so you can't be too hard on yourself. I've had several meltdowns when I least expected it. They come out of know where!

So you hang in there...this is not an easy road to be on. These things happen. We all have our good days and bad. Its all very normal and believe me...I don't want to speak for the others...but I am pretty sure everyone here has felt like that and had that happen when they didn't expect it. I'll be keeping you & your Mother in my thoughts and prayers.

Chelee
