Dear Janet: Thank you so much for retrieving & printing the article from the FDA Journal-it would have surely gone unnoticed in the mad rush that is my mornings around here! I must say that I read in every word like manna from Heaven. It was well-written, easy to understand & balanced between the daily struggle with the disease & the hope just over the rainbow! Talk about a mood elevator! Another inspiration must be Susan! Your story is heart-wretching & very courageous. I had my mom & dad move in with me after my first paladitomy (when I thought I was KING KONG!). My dad had Alzheimer's & the toll that disease has exacted from my mom, my family, my husband & me was a heavy price to pay-but one gladly done. I don't know why some of us/all of us have such crosses to carry but then I can't explain why all the wonderful stuff happens to us either. Without sounding like a broken record: I believe that what we are given is life & if I can get through it with grace, courage & without corruption Then my life will have value & meaning. I'll relinquish my soapbox for now. Thanks for two articles that have filled my heart with hope! -- --- Joan Snyder (47/10/8) <[log in to unmask]> Peoria,IL "Do or do not. There is no try."
