Tressa keeps me on my toes, my mind keen and all the mental use I have left in tact... LOL You must must must be able to have humor as part of your day. This happened tonight in less than 2 seconds as I took a cap off one pill bottle and opened another during routine night medication...today we had in home support who put all the food in the locked kitchen just a different location and the split seconds is all it takes for a person with PWS to seize the opportunity... AMAZING
