Greg, reading your message I get the idea you have a negative attitude 
concerning your illness. (Don't take me wrong here). I just want to relay 
something to you from my own experience. I had polio when I was 12, (in 
1952). I was supposed to be unconscious but I heard the Dr. tell my mom I 
couldn't live. Later, during an annual exam another Dr. told me I would 
not live more than another 5 years and I told him what I thought, (which 
didn't seem to make any difference to him) and never went back. I'm still 
alive and I intend to stay that way....However Greg, I wake every morning 
being thankful that I am here one more day. Don't think past today in 
terms of life. None of us are guaranteed even one more second so take 
what you have and fly......(Nuff preachin')....Gene Chase
