Phil,
I'm glad your sense of humor is intact; it is sorely needed, that's for sure. What irony it would be for us to waddle over to Brack after spending thousands on meds and pdocs, and a couple of zaps did it for us...Tho' ECT is serious stuff, I think there are times I would not mind the memory loss.
