Thanks so much for the kind words. Actually, Dr Wiseman phoned me today to make sure my lost job was not due entirely to health which I reassured him it was not. Our company downsized on a national scale and my dept was slated to terminate anyway. But as a side bar my boss informed me my "frequent missed hours were not looked on favorably by senior management."
I will be in touch with everyone as often as possible because i want so much to get ARD out there and recognized.
Loving friendship
