Yippee!

Dear Sibs,
I heartily endorse the proposal to begin the round robin again. I miss you all!

As my first entrance, I'll just give you a quick update on Sam and I. We are okay! Sam is doing better with his bipolar condition; the meds seem to be helping. He has also been officially diagnosed with 'Essential Tremor' which is a condition that causes him to have a fine motor tremor. His has been present for at least 10 years, but has become severe enough that it is seriously affecting his ability to do daily living cares (shaving, eating, holding a cup, etc.). He saw a neurologist and got started on a medication to hopefully help him. This is a familial condition, and perhaps you all could be aware of that and let us know if you know of anyone else affected by it. Like Mary Ann; you have had a tremor in some movements. This is probably related to essential tremor. Some cases seem to be non progressing and some, like Sam's, totally progress to unmanageable levels.

I had a telephone job interview last thursday for Aetna Insurance Co. to be a telephone health information line nurse. Will find out in 2-3 weeks if they will offer me the job. Keep your fingers crossed.

Greta is staying here with us for a while til she recovers enough to manage on her own at home. She seems to be making a normal recovery (so far) and hopefully that continues. I know it isn't any fun for her to go through this.

I'm heading out now to go see a play that Sam is in at a local theatre. It is called 'HMS Pinafore' and is a Gilbert and Sullivan operetta. Lots of fun to watch!.

Love to you all, Delma
