I'm Sorry I Worried You All

June 5, 2001

I'm Sorry ! I've been in a lot of pain and sitting at the computer

doesn't help. My heart seems to be doing as good as it usually

does. I haven't been able to get into the Dr's yet, I think what is

going on is the degenerative arthritis in my head and neck is causing

the problem. I have discovered if I turn or put my head down or back

too much I get VERY Dizzy!!! I have to hold my head for support at

times, as it seems like dead weight. I can call the nuerologist

tomorrow and see if I can get in, otherwise I have to wait until

August...For a while I was afraid of a stroke. I had a stroke when I

was 27/28 years old, only that one was on the left side, this one is

on the right. I also have poly neuropathy and that could be causing

this mess. That's why I have to see the neurologist.

I'll call as long as Cassandra is doing better. She started fever

today, Lots of coughing sinse she had that flu last week. We have TB

in Defiance here and Eastern Ohio has Meningitis, so I am watching

her closely. Well I'm dizzy now, ( I'm a red head too!!! ) I will

try and check in everyday or two. Again SORRY For All OF YOU

WORRYING ABOUT ME!! I'm nothing to be worring about, But I do Thank

YOu for your support.

Love Ya's All

Helen, no need to feel guilty!! We were just concerned and needing

to know that nothing catastrophic had happened to you! So sorry you

are having such a tough time and that Cassandra is not doing as well

as you were hoping!

Know that you are loved and that our prayers are with you all!

Take care of yourself and when you can, just check in and say, " still

alive and kicking " > Okay?

love and hugs,

birdie
