Oh, I feel your pain. I'm an obsessive saver after having lost 10 pages of work due to something really stupid on my first-ever time word processing. If I breathe I save, that's how deeply I was scarred by that! And how frustrating to be sure you did and still lose something.
I hope the re-piecing goes well.
Think of the days when writers typed everything and had one ms. Isaac Bashevis Singer, I think it was, lost his only copy of a book on the NYC subway. He was very philosophical about it, which I would not be. He told someone about this, and they said, "Oh, that's tragic!" and he said, "A child did not die." Me? I'd be carrying on as if several had.
