Hi, PTK, I don't know what all went on with the postings and stuff--I evidently wasn't in on that thread--but I'm sorry that you went through that. We just don't know what all people are going through sometimes. I'm so sorry to hear about James and all the other problems you are having to deal with...

I do think we ought to be allowed to vent sometimes...and I have done so myself. Then, one time, I told a woman who was getting ready to have ECT to "break a leg," trying to be humorous, thinking about the way theatre people try to wish people luck. She had not had a seizure during the first attempt, so the doctors were trying it again, recognizing that they had not anesthesized her properly. I know, of course, that she should not literally "break a leg." At any rate, I've felt bad about that, thinking I had been insensitive.

I was told on another forum that I did wrong in addressing someone else's issues on a thread, and not talking directly to the original thread beginner....Sigh. We do the best we can.

Hang in there! You know I am on your team.....
