Hi -

It is so nice seeing a post from you here in the group. For

not writing personally, no blaming necessary...to see others

have been in contact and/or that you know others have

kept you in their thoughts is enough for me. Great seeing

you here!!

Hugs from the U.S...where it is FREEZING here in Iowa,

Hi folks,

here in sunny England.

For those " new " folks, Hi! Welcome!

For those who remember me Hi! How are you! I'm sorry I haven't been

around.

I'll explain. A little while after I started thinking about the

LBDAUK (we were planning an English charity) I finally gave up the

struggle to keep sane and started eating antidepressents like

sweeties. Oh man they work. I chilled out so much that I could put

dads illness to one side. So I've been living my life for a while.

Mum, who has MS, is still alive. Totally paralised now. Not much of a

life for her. Dad, the one with LBD, is just about still living at

home with a lot of carers. This is going to have to change now

though. He really needs 24 hour care. Actually he is in hospital at

the moment and I don't think they are going to let him out until the

care is sorted out. He seems to have blood pressure problems. Is that

common? I can't remember...

Anyway, the reason I write is that a lady () contacted the US

LBDA and one of the medical specialits over here asking about any

charities in the UK that she could help with. All roads lead to

so she wound up talking to me. I met today. She has some very

useful skills for seting things up here in the UK and, more

importantly, she is fired up about the project. She really wants to

do it. So it looks like the fledgling LBDA in the UK is about to take

a few very big steps. Here I go again! Wish us luck.

Sally, I really need to talk to you about this. Will try and call at

the weekend.

, you still around? You want to be part of this?

Courage, Jan Colello, I've really missed talking to you two. Hope you

are both ok. Love to you from my side of the pond.

Sandie, Sorry I haven't written for a while. Blame Abby!

Abby, I said I'd write to you before I wrote to Sandie again. I just

haven't had chance. I will write though. Promise. Cake care, sending

you all my love.
