hi terri...

i just wanted to take a second to welcome you to the group, and
apologize for taking so long to "authorize it"...time got away from
me, and then we were out of town, so it took some time to get back to
my puter stuff....

i hope your mom is feeling "ok". you are both in my prayers...as are
all of you!

this disease is s o crazy...affects people in so many different
ways....not sure anyone can tell you what to expect. but we can try
to relate and help where we can....good to have you with us!

Diane
