Haven't posted here before

Hi Gail, it's about 12:45am here on the west coast of British

Columbia, and I can't sleep either so decided to do some Zap

reading. I post usually on BBS , that is when I do post at all. I

have had my " Linus " for just under a year now, my implant was at the

end of February 05. I have been following your posts about for

quite a while now, and admire your strength and devotion. I live

alone and am lucky enough to be able to afford to have a lady come

in during the week for 4 hours a day to help me. Thank goodness that

I had a disability plan at work (gov't) so am getting an income.

don't know what I would do if I didn't have that, I really don't. My

heart condition came to light when I had a stroke a couple of yrs

back (Sept03) and I haven't been able to go back to work since. I've

been through speech therapy, not that my speed itself was damaged

much, but my memory is now odd, and I can't remember certain words

any more and have to keep looking up words for what I want to say. I

have a balance problem and have a walker. Doctors haven't let me

drive since all this happened, so my car sits in the carport looking

pretty but useless (it's a white intrepid, so I call her " Vanna "

haha). bought myself a mini scooter, new on the market, and have

named her Miz Daisy, so I now can drive Mis Daisy when I want some

fresh air and want to go further than I can walker with the walker.

haha . gotta do something to stay sane!

Just wanted to let you know that I am here cheering you on as you go

through your days with , and wish you well.

I just checked over my speeling which is no longer very good, so I

think I can send this out now.

,

So glad that you posted on here. I can feel for you being alone to deal with this. It can be scary. I have 2 teenagers living with me still and whenever I have problems, get shocked and have to make the 911 call it is even harder having to worry about what they will do etc.

The one thing you really have going for you is your sense of humor. Many of us on here have found that, that, is the only way we keep on going.

Keep on posting here, it is great to get to know each other.
