Red, I forgot to tell you that I loved your writing and your idea.
I hope you don't mind that I posted my experience on your thread. I think what you are doing is very cathartic and may help you to put things in perspective. I also think it might help if you hear from others about their first "you have MS" moment. I am sorry if I participated in a hijacking!
(p.s. when i called you a knucklehead, it was a love thang, i hope you weren't offended ya knucklehead!!!!)
