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.
