llamamama	posted 22-Apr-2008 5:33pm Actually, it wasn't polio it was Guillain-Barre syndrome. It is a normally treatable illness, but if not treated it becomes permanent..which makes sense because before 2003, it was thought that he had polio so nothing would have been done.

southernyankee	posted 23-Apr-2008 10:35pm That was a typo, meant to say polio, not poli. But it doesn't matter because llama gave us the right answer which wasn't that anyway.

Cleo	(reply to southernyankee) posted 24-Apr-2008 10:42am Haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa! Hey you!! Long time no see!! I've missed you! (((((((HUGS)))) I like swift kisses on the ass! You did say kiss on the ass didn't you?
romkey	(reply to Cleo) posted 24-Apr-2008 1:20pm Hey! It's nice to see you too... I'm glad you pop in from time to time too
Cleo	(reply to romkey) posted 24-Apr-2008 1:37pm Haaa! Yeah! Noticed a lot of newbies here. I was gone for about 6 months & came back to find that most of the oldbies are M.I.A. & the newbies are interesting. But, I often sit up straight in my bed when I see/recognize an old face. I tend to reply to the oldbies right away. It REALLY is SO nice to see you again. Stick around for a while! I've missed you! & I miss a few others too.

romkey	(reply to Cleo) posted 3-May-2008 9:32pm Getting away definitely sounds good
