Thank you so much Mandi for the kind words, we lost all Frank`s sisters as any support system too........they couldn`t deal with his new look ! Our children are all in pa. and ala. and although they are a great support, we are still alone. Who knew when we moved to Maine that this dreadful thing would happen........I`ve just really decided after this last set back that I just don`t have time to deal with people who can`t understand our suffering...Life is too damned short to bother...I know I`m so far from perfect that it`s pitiful, I compare myself to Packer, who does seem to be perfect, then set myself up for failure, I don`t really know either what I would do without this board........we truly are all brothers and sisters in this journey....................Dee
