that's the way the BOSS perceives it, but we know better

Katz, I deeply empathize with what your having to go through. I can imagine how unsettling it must be to be in the constant "testing" stage before they can pinpoint the problem. I'm so sorry you have to be going through this. I pray things will improve for you SOON. When you feel your sense of bravery leaving, try to find COURAGE. In difficulties biding our time is one of the strongest ropes we can hold on to. GOD BLESS YOU and give her the courage she needs to stand firmly throughout this ordeal.

Hi Linda, I had my stroke in August (16)2004 also. Maybe you are doing too much? What can possibly make it worse is wanting it to be like it was before. We will always be more vulnerable to fatigue and stress. If you find that the "blues" just don't go away, maybe it's a sign of depression. Feeling blue is okay, depression needs to be tended to. I hope you're feeling better soon.

Dear William, Having worked (pre-stroke)15 years in a nursing home as a nuses's aide, I feel my spirit still broken by too many years of self-abnegation. Thank-you for writing this because it expresses a dimension many people are not aware of. GOD BLESS YOU
