Congrats, Julia.  I hope they make you a well.  I think your discussion would get more replies if you were to post it in the District 3 Group.  When you post a discussion to a group, all the members of that group get an email notification of the new discussion.  That's doesn't happen on the Main Page.  You have to get lucky that the right membrers log onto the site and see it before it rotates off the Main Page.
