Don, I've bbeen reading Carol H's comments on the list and see that she's is strong and determined to fight, jokes, and throws in thoughts to ponder. I sensed more of a frustration from the comment in question than heeding what she said she was going to do. Frustration in which we can all relate to. That's why I told her she was having a pd moment. We're allowed that expression of frustration. It's a cruel disease and we will continue to grieve over the losss of our better physical selves. I have a hunch this list knows her well and would have been kknocking at her door, and offering their shoulders, e-mail piled high, and phone calls, if they thought she was reallyy at that dark point. Stomp, stomp, kick you in the head PD Patty PPS It's nice to know the list has compassionate people like you
