    Thanks Sangye! It's also kind of selfish of me, I want to find people like me! Hee hee!

    The main reason I want to do it is because when I was diagnosed they said something like "Congratulations, you have this incurable disease that will eventually kill you, now go home and rest." Everything I read on WG said "Find a support Group." I couldn't find anything. Everything I read was so scary it was horrible at first. I want to be there for people like I wish I would have had.

    Then I found this website which was a life saver for me. I didn't become a member or post for a long time because I was just too ill but I would read. It took a very long time to get to where I am at and I am so thankful that I had this website to read and calm me everyday. Thank you everyone you truly are wonderful!! You don't realize how much you all did for me during those darkest days!! I don't know what else to say except THANKS!!!

    Perfect, Kami! As I keep saying, even a Sick Old Man deserves a little pleasure now and then. And, as I've also noted (and continue to believe), playful social contact is directly therapeutic. You go, girl!

    Hey this sounds like fun getting together with others who can relate to all the WG issues and yet be able to forget about them for an evening or day of fun! I live on Mille Lacs Lake in the NE corner of the lake by Malmo, MN. I'm here 6 months till the end of Oct. then I go south for the winter time. But I would be glad to hold a get together at my lake place. We live in a resort so our home is a Mobil home but there's room to set up tents and tables behind our place for a big back yard picnic! We have a pontoon for giving boat rides, yard games, etc. Anyway, I never was able to find the time to get involved in support groups before while I was working but now that I'm retired it would be great to connect with others who face some of the same dilemma's that I do! Traveling around the state of MN to various WG gatherings would be very rewarding! I can be reached at my email address or on Facebook @ [email protected]. I look forward to hearing from other fellow WG patients. Kathy
