I hope you have a great time at the dinner. At the very least, I will have
to use my cane. I am not closed to the
idea of going. It isn't because of vanity that I have 2nd thoughts of going,
it is that I don't want to become a
spectacle there. I know after a while things would calm down. I just don't
want to go through that. We'll see.

Janice,
I got TM shortly before my 25 year class reunion and did not attend
that one. Not so much out of vanity but because at the time I didnt think I
would be able to handle being out and about for that length of time.
My 30 year is coming up the end of this month. I wont be able to
attend the main reunion on saturday because of a conflict of dates with another
event, but am planning on attending a smaller dinner on friday so atleast I
will get to see some of the people. I am thinking that for the short time I am
at the dinner I may be able to get away with no one knowing anything is wrong
with me, so shouldnt have to answer any questions. Just hoping for a good day
and good weather so I wont have to use my cane.

I have another question for you all that want to answer:
I will be having another class reunion shortly and graduating from
the hometown high school, I was usually one of about 15 that
helped to plan it. We had around 500 in our graduating class.
Anyway, I am debating whether or not to be a part of the
planning or even attending the reunion. This is the first reunion
since I got clobbered with TM. I still have to use a cane and
would maybe need my wheelchair. I was fairly well known and I am
afraid I would be answering questions all nite about TM. My question is:
Would you let TM keep you from attending a reunion? Be
honest. If you were faced with this decision this weekend,
what would you do?
