    NO BLOGS TODAY??

    That sounds like a good place for me. I spend way to much time feeling sorry for myself. I didn't used to be so self absorbed. I miss the warm thoughtful woman I used to be. I think I'll start looking for her. Keep up all your hard work . It'll all pay off in the end.
  3. I thought I was doing pretty well, then I woke up Friday morning outside on a stretcher with 2 men standing over me(EMTs) seems I woke my husband up, having a seizure.My doc took me off anti-seizure meds. two months ago. I hadn't had a seizure and she thought I was pretty low risk. Guess she was wrong. I have been tremendously fatigued ever since.The ER doc couldn't believe I didn't have a neurologist so he gave me several names. I have an appointment with one of them tomorrow. Maybe he'll tell us something new !I need to progress. I feel like I'm stuck where I am right now. :blah_blah:

    I could just scream!

    I feel your pain. I have a sister-in-law, I could do without. . We moved all the way to Texas 2 and a half years ago and that has helped tremendously :wicked: . In fact I haven't seen her in over a year.
  5. It's been a long time since I last blogged. I went through 3 weeks of serial casting and got a special nightime splint My foot is practically flat on the floor and I had my AFO adjusted. So finally my walking with the quad cane has improved.I haven't had physical therapy in months so now the doc is talking about me going to an NDT(neuro developmental therapist). Of course my insurance company has cut off my PT benefits,so we will have to pay for it.I just want to get better and get on with my life.I miss my sis and bro. in-lawand my adorable nieces.I need to be walking better before I can venture back to Baltimore for a visit.I'd like to see myparents and my friends too. I especially want to eat some good Jew-food( I would kill for a good corned beef on rye w/mustard. You just can't get that in Texas.I'd l'd love some steamed crabs,I don't know about eating them one-handed though. Hopefully I'll get there soon!

    lonely

    I feel your pain. I have had many similar feelings.Being a woman allows me the opportunity to cry(without shame). Screw the boys don't cry crap! Let it out before you explode! sending you hugs Ruth
  7. Thought I'd respond with a list of my own1. My sexual appetite 2. my sense of humor and quick-wit 3. my ability to hug my daughters and my husband with 2 arms 4. the inflection and volume in my voice 5.the ability to think and speak quickly 6. my devilish and obnoxious ways of thinking
