All I can say is that I wish you every success in the world. You are strong and you are caring. When I read your posts this shines through above all--your heart. I will pray for you Diane that you may find your own feather bed. A place where you can fall softly and the world will be okay.

I am one of those people that believe everything happens for a reason, maybe something better will come out of having to wait. Hang in there, it sounds like you havee a great attitude - that can help alot! Keep up the good work!

Treatment is not a cure all Diane but, it does remove you from your ability to use at free will, and gives you the opportunity to really reflect. I may not believe in treatment... but, I believe in YOU! Keep on keeping my friend! In my Thoughts & Prayers, All My Love, Lynn _________________ Does your train of thought have a caboose?

As I said before Good Luck, I believe that you are deserved a happy life. _________________ Your Admin, Gene. -=People who ask our advice almost never take it.
