I am very thankful for being born in a big family (I'm #9 out of 10 kids). Even knowing that this disease lurks in the back of my mind and I'm watching nephews that might have this...I would not want any other life. I have lived like I needed too,(little to no regrets!). I helped my dad when I did not know what was ailing him. He was tough. With over 60 plus nephews and nieces now, I will help them in the future find the answers to this disease with grace and dignity, and humor.

Lori, what a wonderful sentiment. Your attitude is great! Thank you for sharing.

P.S.
We have something in common. I am #9 out of 10 also. I agree that large families are a blessing.

Hi Bruce ( #9 ),

It takes me a long time to view this KD stuff but it's cool to know that you're number nine too! Hope that KD is treating you kindly. I recently went in for shots to my back. I hope that it relieves some pain. How are you? Take care #9.
From Lori

Lori - #9, it is good to hear from you again. I am doing quite well. Thanks for asking. I saw your comments on EMT training on the "How are you dealing with KD" and thought they were very appropriate. Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts.
