Kevin, we didn't spend the whole time talking about our symptoms etc, perhaps just how we cope daily with the situations that arise. Our husbands were with us and of course it was very helpful for them too. There were times when we actually talked about entirely unrelated tm topics but it always came back to tm.
How are your beautiful canes coming along? hugs Gilly ----- Original Message ----- From: kevin weilacher To: Gillian Clark ; TM list Sent: Saturday, September 12, 2009 10:51 PM Subject: Re: [TMIC] I met a TMer!!!!! Gilly, that is wonderful...I know how cool it was for me when I met two other TMr's here locally for the first time. It was kind of goofy because the whole 2 hours or so of our conversation consisted of comparing symptoms and such but it was such a comfort I guess, knowing that there were others right there in front of me, that knew exactly what I had and was experiencing. It kind of gives you something of a special bond that you don't always experience with other "friends" Here's to your continued friendship with them...

G'day All, It's been such a long time since I've written to the list but I assure you, I've been reading and keeping up with you all. I was devastated to hear we have lost another member of our family. R.I.P. Rick. I've bought myself out of posting retirement today because something so special has happened!!!!! I have just said goodbye to my visitors. They are Allen and Andrea Southern. Andrea is a member of our list, a lurking member but a member none the less. After 8 years of tm I've never met another person "in the flesh" who has it. We had a lovely visit and I can't begin to describe how wonderful it was to have a "real life" conversation with another tmer. OK, I won't ramble anymore but I did so want to share with you all. hugs Gilly, the old girl from Australia.
