Thank you Jeanne. I am going to take it one day at a time, but I am still hopeful that I can possibly go to the Symposium, even if for just one day, and then spend some time with my sister in Seattle who was just told she has a brain tumor. I think it's hard for a lot of us TMers to travel. I know it wears me out. When I travel I always arrive at least a day or two ahead of time so I can rest and nap as much as possible. I have been looking forward to the Symposium for so long - I wish that we could all be together as well. Hugs are wonderful - can never get too many of those. I still have high hopes!!

It's a great experience, and so fun to meet the folks you've been talking to on the tmic.

So far there are 97 people signed up to attend the symposium in Seattle. I hope that more people on the west side of the U.S. will be able to attend, because it is usually on the east coast due to Johns Hopkins and Doug Kerr being able to offer Medical Education credits to professionals around the world, and being too expensive for our TMA members to attend. The last time there was a full symposium on the west coast was in 1999, and it may not happen again for several years which is why it is such a rare opportunity for people to attend. I look forward to meeting you and any other contributors to the tmic list attending.

I have signed up but have not heard from them and it is almost 2 weeks away. I thought when I went in 2006, they sent me some info but my memory just isn't what it use to be with TM, meds, and age. I hope to meet some of the people that I see online. Candy K.
