Many thanks, Nancy! WOWIE! With all the terrific support I've got from everyone on the List as well as from assorted Parkie friends locally, I feel light and buoyant - like a 1000 pound weight has been lifted off my shoulders. It's weird, but I since wrote and posted my message about how angry I felt, with the subsequent outpouring of support and affection I received from ya all, I no longer feel anger - just a strong feeling of confidence that I'm going into that hearing room armed with whatever it takes to make things go well. Thanks, y'all....
