Mom sends her thanks
Hey Kids -
Thanks for all the well wishes. It is nice to know that so many of you actually care about the person behind the typing.
My Doctor and I have got it narrowed down to two of the six new meds. I'll spend the next week not taking one and see what happens. Then if nothing changes - we'll know it's the other medication that is causing all the problems.
Pretty easy when you think about it. But what a royal pain in the ass!
I have to tell you - losing the use of your feet and legs is a very weighty issue to ponder. Take a moment and think about how your life would be without the use of your legs. I'm sure you'd find it fairly difficult to do anything without them. I guess I just want to let you know that there are so many supposed "little" things that we take for granted every day. Everything you possess is a blessing. I can promise you that your life will become richer when you come to the realization that even the tiniest thing can actually become the thing that would change a person's entire life.
You are all my kids - and I pray that you outlive all of me! But for now - please try to keep up with the old lady!
PS here's a photo of my "Doc" - Dr. Mary Starkebaum and myself at my annual birthday party that she throws for me at her lakefront home.
M'wah - M.

Hey buddy, hope all goes well for you and that this will be resolved by new year. Although my ailment is not nearly as dire as yours, I too have come to deal with reduced mobility - sprained ankle - in the past few weeks and if anything, it has made me appreciate my health and the "little things" all the more. Not because it was a pain (literally and figuratively) to have to get around on crutches, but because since my fall, I have had to spend a considerable amount of time in waiting rooms and I have witnessed there incredible desperation and the sheer cruelty that comes when your body starts failing you. My health is now at the top of my blessings, along with my family and friends, who are always a source of boundless love and strenght. Hope this Holiday season finds you equally well surrounded, and that the new year holds nothing but the very best for you. Happy Holidays.
all to best to you from my heart...
may your days be merry and bright!
