From USA Today. Senate Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., has promised a vote within the month on legislation allowing funding for research on stem cells from discarded human embryos, said Sen. Arlen Specter, R-Penn., chairman of the Appropriations Committee's Health and Human Services panel. ''I believe we have the votes,'' said Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, who co-sponsored Specter's legislation. ''I hope we have the votes.'' ************************************************************************************************************************************** Okay, as far as I can see, we have our work cut out for us!! That gives us about three weeks to to bombard our Senators and Representatives with email, FAXES, Letters or phone calls, telling them we want a cure in our lifetime. In the ,here and now,not in the hereafter!!

The laser surgery they preformed 2 weeks after the lens implant was successful in reducing the glaucoma pressure in his eye. Both the glaucoma specialist and the eye surgeon said because of his diabetes he had more problems than normal. We are now down to 4 vials of eye drops from 11 vials, so I can now finish my quilt top I have to have mailed to my friend in Texas before 15 Oct. if I want it quilted before Christmas. just me, Marjorie 67/58/55
