Quick Update from Carol G.

[Guest guest]

Hello My Friends,

I hope you haven't forgotten me, as all of you are always on my heart

and in my prayers. I've come back from no mail to digest tonight and

have been reading some of the recent posts on the group site. The

past 2-3 months have been difficult for me and I'm having a bit of

relief tonight, so I wanted to check in.

Without going into alot of detail right now, I've been suffering from

both the physical and the psychological manifestations of what was

confirmed RP by the " RP Specialist " at the Cleveland Clinic. However,

his recommendations have not put a dent in my progressions with known

and mystery symptoms, so when I was offered an appt with Dr. Michet

at Mayo, I decided to take it. (He's the Dr that did the big study on

RP in the mid '80s) It sounds weird, but I'm actually kind of excited

about seeing him, I leave a week from Wednesday.

It made me very sad to learn of Angie's passing. Even though I did

not know her, to know how it effected so many of you and knowing what

she had done for all of us let me understand and feel it more deeply.

It also was sad for me to know she passed away on my birthday, and I

just realized all the nice birthday wishes I received.

I can't even explain to you where my head has been, but know my heart

and all my good thoughts have been with each of you. I may not be in

touch too much too soon, but I wanted you to know I'm hangin' in

there, as I hope each of you are, and I know God will give us the

strength to keep on going.

With Love,

Carol G.
