i can see this on both sides. i have cp with lots od dystonia in left back, sholder, arm, hand and some in left leg. it is quite a strain to sit straight at my dest to do my work. i now think that maybe this constant strain has maybe quickened the wear and tear on my soft connective tissues. on the otherhand some one else with cp but not much dystonia, or distonia in different places could sit and do this job, no problem like maybe KAT. in my case my job did some damage in Kats case she might not ever be effected by the job. both sides of the coin. -----Original Message----- From: K.

The plantiff in the case I cited had cirrhosis of the liver that presumeably would have been aggravated by exposure to toxic chemicals. The man wanted the job because it would have paid more and offered better benefits. However, the company felt there was a potential liability in the exposure to toxic chemicals and wanted to avoid the possibility future litigation, which, really, I can't blame them for.

What about the sighted airline pilots whose vision was corrected with glasses? _________________________________________________________________ Need extra income?
