I am in a real foul mood now. I got a call last night saying that my best friend in the world and fellow stem cell advocate lies crippled in a Texas hospital from a fall he took due to parkinsons. Now Terry is a fifty year old tough as nails texan with a heart of gold. He has a wife at home and two kids. When I met him in www.plwp.org he is the one that got me into advocacy and making a difference in the world. When I meet Terry at last year pan conference, Terry slapped me when I said I was afraid to meet the senators. He said we have parkinson's there's nothing scarier than that. And if I still were feeling sorry for myself than I should talk to people who are more affected by this damn disease.
So what the cause for this out rage. As I said Terry took a fall off the top of the stairs because he need to use the washroom and his muscles frooze in mid stride. Now he lies in a hospital bed in texas, on a respirator, and he can only move his fingers. All because people wouldn't vote for stem cell rearch and John Kerry.
To anyone who voted for John Kerry - despite his flaws - I want to thank you for thinking of the good of the country, and the rights of others rather than yourselves. To those who didn't vote for kerry well every election has consequences my friends health was one of them. So please everyone send Terry B your prayers and positive energy. And please say a prayer for me to get ahold of my anger. I am so mad at the RW wingers right now and to a lesser extent those who didn't vote for Senator Kerry.
