I'm reading this one with a smile because I can totally relate to it all.

Lately, my back has become very bad....herniated discs and multiple protrusions, arthritis, osteoporosis, and oh yeah PD and dystonia. It hurts all the time. This makes me grumpy.

I think when you are grumpy, depressed, or post op, getting divorced, or are sick, one can look at things a little negatively - just ask a few of my friends about my recent whining.

This clouds your judgement and you can even get paranoid or misinterpret things. Before you become concerned, remember that Andy Grove, head of Intel, says "Only the Paranoid Survive" (he has PD too - I hear he has a future penthouse booked in the Ozarks).

The only thing that bothers me here is that Carolyn doesn't realize what an excellent poster she is.

no biggie here I hope,
paula
