Hang in there Mike! God works in mysterious ways his wonders to perform.
Eight years ago I was diagnosed with Polycystic Kidney Disease. It like
wise has no treatment, no cure, and is always fatal. I was bummed out
for about a year, but then the tests started to came back with the same
numbers. The disease has not progressed in me, and nobody knows why.
Shortly afterward I learned of the oldtools list and took an interest.
I do not attribute the remission to the oldtools list, but the list
sure helped take my mind off my troubles.
I hope it will do the same for you. Keep on keepin' on!
