Hello to all & especially to Greg- Thanks much for the info regarding the new headgear used in surgical procedures for pallidotomy. Dr. Jamie Henderson was the wonderful doctor who did both of my pals & I can assure everyone that the entire process would have been less daunting without the huge halo apparatus screwed into my head! I was one of the ones who was infected with the Happy 99 virus & to me, it was a wake-up call & a loss of innocense-I believed that that stuff could only happen to other people! It's a case of: once bitten-forever shy! It took several days & fortunately, I didn't infect anyone else; but I did suffer from e-mail withdrawal! Thank heavens, it wasn't worse. -- Joan E.
