Guest guest Posted June 19, 2001 Report Share Posted June 19, 2001 , Hello, and welcome to the group! Isn't tae-bo great??? It's totally addictive. Soon, you'll be moving on to the advanced workouts! It is hard to believe that you can burn so many calories and work so many muscles while having fun, I know. This is a great group, and everyone is so supportive and talkative. I love the 21DC's that we do, also. They really make you want to work harder. Good luck on losing the weight, you have certainly taken the first step! I've lost 35 so far, although I've also completely changed my diet, and I drink soooooo much water. Very important. Great to meet you! AmyC --- SUNsMOONs@... wrote: > Hello!

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2004 Report Share Posted November 29, 2004 Wecome , Glad you found us and hope we can all be some help. One of the first things My moms primary MD always did when things would go bad and I did not know why, was to check for a UTI (Uranary Tr. Infection) While you mentioned blood test and all at the hospital, you did not say if that was checked. My daughter raised her son with my mom around a lot of the time, although they did not live together. Mom was there a lot while I worked and when Mom was not at day care. We did watch Mom around the kids and dog as she would sometimes take it out on them when she could not do the things she wanted. As my grandson got old enough to stay out of her way when he needed, he could be sort of depended on to tell on her or get out of her way. She could not move very fast. He did understand she could not think very well and she was sick. When she did go into a nh, and no one wants to do that, his favorite job was pushing her around. The biggest effect on him was when she died and he was only 4 and did not understand where she went. I live in MI and she was buried back in her home state of WI. So he was not around for the funeral to help him along with his understanding. I have a hunch kids do better with this than some grown ups. He was very kind to her and had some sense about what it was all about and we did not pretend to him that she was just fine. We did answer questions for his age and he seemed to get it. Glad you are here and hope you get all your answers. Do go to the LBD site, addie is at the bottom of my email, there is lots of good info there too. And there is always going back and reading some of the email. Donna R Do you want to read more about Lewy Body? You can also read the Thistle, the LBD Newsletter.
