I never heard it myself, but the article made sense as I was reading it (http://blogs.zdnet.com/Ou/?p=416). The Urban Myth you are referring to sounds like a fun story to spread around, though <g>... Re: me continuing with ProFox, hell, y'all are the only portal I have to the Real World <g>... Other than our 3 Siberian Huskies I have nobody else! (certainly not true, Lynda is awesome)... Seriously, I see no need to roll over and quietly go away. I just have to adapt to my new circumstances, and remain grateful for the 52 pain free years I have had. And, not every day is going to be horribly painful, especially in contrast to fates that befall other fine folks through no fault of their own. Our ProFox members who work within the medical community know that far better than me. Pretty all this week the pain has been moderate, and tolerable, regardless of the constant numbness. Things could be far worse. My arm isn't going to wither away and fall off at least, and my brain is functioning in any less capacity than before despite some of the pain killers I been taking the first few weeks <g>... So, no, y'all aren't getting rid of me that easily! heh-heh...
