Been AWOL

[Guest guest]

Hi group,

Though I don't post much, I do try to read the posts at least every

other day (when I can keep my eyes open!) I can't complain about my

burdens, as you all are carrying your own just as well and with great

grace, I'd say.

Had my checkup last week, and my doc is concerned about loss of

strength in my hands and legs (I keep dropping the darndest things!)

and bladder problems. Since I may only be providing child care for

my 4 little ones for another 2 weeks, we'll see if the reduced stress

and maybe more sleep might help. If not, then it is up to the

neurologist for an evaluation. This living with 2-3 medical

conditions is challenging, as many of you well know, especially when

they overlap and it's hard to tell where one leaves off and the other

begins (for those who don't know me, they are FM, Dercum's, and MS.)

Well, I never did believe in doing things the easy way.

When I am once again back in the ranks of retired, Ron and I are

going to look into a group called " IRIS " --where we will read and

record books and newspapers for people who are visually challenged.

Sounds like fun to me!

I hope everyone is as well as you can be, all things considered...
