Re: Ice, Beaches, Uneven Sidewalks? Ach!

December 7, 2001

Bob thanks for your post.

Everything you say is true. I feel really lousy this morning after a terrible

night of pain and burning but yes I'm counting my blessings.

Yesterday my ten year old son came home and told me that a little girl in his

class died of an asthma attack Wednesday night. She was at school fine on

Wednesday and yesterday morning the headmaster told the children she'd died.

I knew this little girl and I know her mother (Robin and her have been through

school together) and my CMT is nothing compared to what the family are going

through now.

Please all say a prayer for the family their name is and give all your

kids a special hug they are very precious.

Love

Sue

Subject: [] Ice, Beaches, Uneven Sidewalks? Ach!

The subject says it all, doesn't it, folks? What a bummer. Yep, even

standing still for a prolonged period and I start to wobble! Sheesh!

But if you're like me, just being able to even " touch " something

stable takes that unsteady feeling away! My neurologist told me a

couple years ago, " ok, so someday you might need a cane........is

that the end of the world? " . Know what? She was right! Even though I

have not given in to the Cane thing yet (the Mrs. says I'm just too

ornery) we have to keep looking at all the positives in our lives. I

know I approach the corny, but CMT.....doesn't that mean " count many

treasures " ? Yes, I fall down sometimes. But when my treasured son

helps me up, I thank my God for him. Of course I can't do that top

button on the white shirt for work. But my treasured wife sure can!

And when I can't quite grab that piece of paper on the desk, the

almost 400 treasured employees here sure cover for me! Know what? I

am only challendged if I permit myself to be. NO WAY. Sure I have

CMT, and its effects are creeping up on me. But I wouldn't trade my

situation for anything. I am blessed in so many ways.......and I know

it! With all respects, BobD
