Mike,

I can certainly appreciate how long it might have taken to post that but I DO appreciate the detail. Many of us are very close to where you are, or there also, and know the clock is ticking. Dystonia and dyskinesia can drive us absolutely insane - I can kick a door and injure myself doing nothing but standing there!

Falling with the microwave ...yikes...we always have to learn it the hard way you know? I've taken a few tumbles myself.

The drive is a big factor, something that most might not think about...that's a looong drive but worth it to feel safe.

You sound like someone who will really benefit from it, and please keep us informed - this decision is going to loom big before many of us one day -maybe soon.

thanks for the openness,
Paula
