> KellyHi Kelly, Joellen here, you're outlook is great. I too have wanted that
number (Kavorkian's) at times but I have come to realize that it isn't
the solution. I felt the way you did that there wasn't much of a future
when my legs quit on me, but now I know that I am here for a reason, not
sure just what it is yet but I'm working on it! keep it up and keep on
with the alternative therapy it seems to be working for you I have tried
some too and it does have good outcomes.
