      Hi there,
      Thanks for writing back. I was at home with kid for years, but mine are 21 and 18 now, so I'm getting to do more with friends. Enjoy those years though! They fly by.
      How was it for you to go back to work? That's a big change.

      Hi Chrissy!
      Dave sent me your way. I'm in the MS support group too, and live in Lancaster county PA. We're neighbors. : )
      Dave is great. My fiance has MS, and he's been terrific about letting me poke his brain.
      Hope to talk to you soon!
