**Quasi** , now I’m totally sending you a little plastic armless baby. That’s hysterical. We all say it, but thanks for the laugh, and thanks for telling us about your fight.

We’re all here for you; we’re all in this together.

Aww, I have a Maine Coon, too. Aren’t they sweethearts?

Today must really be a diamond day - your post from earlier today was lucid, well-thought out, personable … and included kitty pics! 🙂

Quasi,  
I thought you might find this interesting. Pat is just beginning on the road you’re traveling.

Mirror image, almost. Thank you, **aceplace57**. I do hope she changes her mind and opens up about her early onset in the near future, though. I think she’d make a hell of an advocate - especially for any athletes who may get it.

She’d also make a great public speaker and give _all_ of us a pep talk when we need one!

Thanks for the link!

But they drool you a river. Or at least mine does. 🙂

Thanks
