Hi, Vicci!
Glad to here about Rich! Remember to find out about the national
organization and a support group for him. As he gets better and better at
taking care of it, I hope it will bother him less and less. As one doctor
once said on a medical team where I worked, we are all full of shit. I
laughed particularly hard at the time; I was pregnant and had just come
from a sonogram where the examiner asked me mid-way whether I had to get up
and relieve myself. I guess I looked backed up. Much love and hugs to you
both,
Martha Cerreto
