Joined: Nov 2006 Posts: 2,671 | Petey - the very BEST aspect of this whole thing is that you are getting the care that you deserve to get!
HURRAY FOR YOU, PETEY!!!
Maybe your publicity people can get a movie together detailing your experiences like they did for the lady I posted a comment about under "Cable Film" in Activism. (Been in Mexico and haven't been able to check OCF too often but coming home to TN tomorrow. and to OCF!)
