Thanks Tess:

Lately my boss has gotten worse............I can

barely make it into work some days and I only want him

to help make the job less stressful......by nature of

the work, it is stressful but he adds to it..........I

just need to give him some articles to read to make

him realize exactly what these diseases are..........

Hugs and congrats on your new job

Pat

PS I will be in Vancouver next weekend.........
