Hi Michelle. I saw you post about spending the day at the VA and not getting anywhere. Are you talking about getting your husband enrolled, or were you at the hospital? We've had wonderful experience with the VA, but fortunately for us my husband was already in the system and the VA diagnosed him. The PVA is an enormous help for PALS, so I hope you have a rep. BTW, I love to sew also, but havent really done any since Matt's diagnosis. I was in my sewing room, completely oblivous, when he went to the neurology appt by himself and got the diagnosis. I'm also having back problems that leave me hurting if I set very long. Maybe I need to put the machine on a tall table and stand! Becky
