Baerbel, I'm so glad you found this site. I still remember how helpful your diary was - following Les through his suffering and then surgery and now, finally, to a pain free life.

I'm sorry to hear of your mother's illness. We will all be thinking of you, and her, and hoping that things go well for you both.

When you have the time and energy do drop in here. As more and more people find this site there will be individuals with questions that you can answer. We're really trying to rebuild the caring community that we knew before. And by the way, I'm sunflower now, I was baywatcher on the old site, I saved that name in case it ever comes back.

My best to you and Les and to your mother as well, Nancy
