So sorry Kevin, isn't that what makes our condition so exhausting! You never know when you wake up each day how you're going to feel. I am going to look into it but I really appreciate your e-mail. It brought me back down to earth.... for awhile there I was dreaming of maybe playing tennis again some day... That's o.k. I am more than blessed in being able to go and do whatever I want with my car "Hand controls" and my walker. Have a good one! Trudy
