Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	Mike, sounds like it was rather trying times there for a while. Glad things are going better for all of you. My wife is actually very well adjusted. Didn't mean to make it sound like she was incapacitated. She has a regiment of meds she has to take, but by and large she is "stable". She has long periods of severe fatigue (days/weeks) and it's all she can do to just care for herself. We have occasional hospital stays, but they are becoming less and less common. We've finally learned to get in a doctor's face and say "Hell NO!" when he wants to experiment with her meds. When I hear or read about folks who do crazy things with their families and it's attributed to bi-polar, I'm a little more compassionate about it. I understand the frustrations and the mind-set of those people. I've seen it and lived it. Wow ... this thread took a weird turn, didn't it?

Nothing says 'I love you.' like a box of Hydroshoks Group: Moderators Posts: 5,284 Joined: 23-December 03 From: Granbury, TX Member No.: 4	Just wondering what kind of technical/practical background we all have. I work at a Nuke Power Plant in a Overview organization. It's more than just your average QA/QC organization. I produce video and multi-media presentations for employee training and information Been doing this for 22 years.
