Judith 'n Carole.... Between the two of you dear women, you've said it all! You've encapsulated virtually every nuance and every feeling (ok.... so maybe ya left out one or two) that so many of us who are forced to live with this steeeenkin' disease carry around inside ourselves. Your individual and mutual eloquence touched me immensely. With love to for you both...
