I hope you're right, zab!! I was hoping that it wouldn't be a big deal. However, since the doc said that was the only thing he saw that could possibly get in the way, I thought I would turn to Air Warriors to see if anyone had any further, valid information on the subject.
As far as understanding the bashing between communities go, I actually do understand that it happens. Like I said, I have seen it here on this site and don't appreciate it. I can handle if someone decides to be negative towards my chosen career, but it doesn't mean that I have to like when others put people (including myself) down. I don't have to choose to join in on the bashing, either. No one can ever change how others decide to act, but we have control over our own actions. Therefore, I will always choose to respectfully stick up for myself if need be and not join in on the negativity. I appreciate the intended advice, though. But, like I said, I am on this thread looking for some valid advice from those who may have seen a similar case to mine. Would love to hear from someone like that!
