assistant: MALE, 12/25/48
    Capricorn Earth Rat.  Success and security is what this man is
after.  Power!  This man knows how the system works and makes it work
for him.
    He may fall into a "gimme, gimme" mode every once in a while and can
be difficult to live with.
    The Rat sign gives him lots of ideas but little carry through.  The
Capricorn perseverence is what saves him.
    Capricorn Rats cannot handle emotional situations.  They tend to get
uptight and turn cold and rigid.  He will choose a strong woman as a
mate over looks. He can be brutal to psychologically weak people.
    Good match in the Taurus, Leo, Virgo, Scorpio or Pisces Ox.  Lesser
matches are Monkey, Dragon, and Horse.
    The Capricorn Rat make enemies on the way up in life.  He achieves
goals one after another, but should keep an eye out for enemies lurking
behind him.
    Naturally dominant. Would seek administrative careers.
FEMALE  10/5/50
    A Libra Metal Tiger.
    A rebel.  A fine sense of justice, to her own perspective.  She is
ambitious and wants a place in the sun, a name for herself, and a star
in the heavens of renown.
    Charismatic, intelligent. Sentimental. Argumentative. Swaggerer.
    A good match ofr Gemini, Leo Sagittarius or Aquarius Horse or Dog.
Dragon and Rabbit are next best. Stay away from Snake, Ox and Goat.
    A spendthrift when it comes to the home, with furniture and art.
    Bossy at work, but practical.
        What can I say? Two more Type A's. :))

assistant: NOTE: This message was originally in conference "INTERNET - E-MAIL AREA"

From:         RMAURO@DELPHI.COM
To:           Multiple recipients of list POLIO <POLIO@SJUVM.STJOHNS.EDU>
Date:         Mon, 26 Jun 1995 11:10:56 -0400
Subject:      YOUR PPS SYMPTOMS
Please use this Subj heading to list YOUR PPS Symptoms.  Following
is a list I have compiled:
                       THE SYMPTOMS OF PPS
1.   Headaches, especially upon waking in the morning.
2.   You wake up at night feeling as if you need air, and
     might start leaving the windows open.
3.   You feel shaky, anxious, depressed, and psychiatrists or
     GPs just say you are worrying too much or are under
     stress.  Be careful of anti-depressants!  These can have
     very bad affects on persons suffering from PPS!
4.   Extreme fatigue, especially mid-day.  You wake up tired.
     Need frequent naps.
5.   You find you need more rest during the day.  Your heart
     races after exertion.
6.   You have trouble concentrating.
7.   Pain and weakening in the same muscles that were
     initially affected by polio.
8.   In extreme cases, bluish tint under fingernails, bluish
     tint to lips -- all from poor oxygenation.
     We have found that these symptoms can appear in some and not
in others.  Most symptoms of PPS usually appear 15 to 20 years
after the initial onset of childhood polio.  Overuse of muscles,
exercise, A-type personalities can all exacerbate and accelerate
the symptoms of PPS.
     The key is to get a good pulmonary evaluation if breathing
problems are suspected, especially if initially person was in an
iron lung and was weaned off it years ago.  Also, DO NOT TRUST A
GP!  Get a good post polio syndrome doctor.  Call a local
Independent Living Center to locate a local Post Polio Support
group.  That group can probably give you the name of a good PPS
doctor in your area.

Hi Diana,
Just a few lines to let you know that I went to the coast and walked on
the beach...That always does wonders for me...He was a very special
person to me as well as others...Even a massive stroke 23 years ago
didn't stop him. He couldn't talk but he always got his point
across...LOL. I'll miss him but he is in a better place. Thanks for
caring and the hugs...I can always use them....See ya.
