Jackie-

It's been so long since I've been to Klamath Falls. I'm sure it has probably changed a lot. I think the last time I was there, it must have been about 25 years ago. My aunt and her husband and their kids live there. I speak with my aunt occasionally on IM. To tell you the truth...I didn't know her until about 10 years ago. I haven't seen her since I was about 3 or 4. It's along story. I'll be happy to share it with you if and when you're interested.

My eye seems to be slowly getting better. I don't know if it's that, or if I'm starting to adjust to it. I really hope it's getting better. I still can't see clearly out of it, but I can see light filtering in and I see shapes. But, I'm not able to make them out. If I didn't have what limited use I have from my left eye, I wouldn't even be able to sit here and read. It's really that bad.

Yeppers!!! Don't you know....I'm going to be glued to the set come January 16th! I love that show. Even still, on Saturdays when American Idol Rewind comes on....I'm watching it. The reruns are just as good to me.

I'll talk to you again real soon....God bless....

Hi Val,…….thanks for the reply to my ordeal. I tried to answer you back on that one but your wallpaper doesn’t come out right when I hit reply. So that’s why am using this letter to write back. [hope that made sense?] Anyhow, we had talked about moving to Klamath Falls at one time. It’s a beautiful area. Have you been there to see your family? My cousins husbands sister lives there. I haven’t been over there in many years, but I sure learned a lot about it when I was doing research for a possible relocation for us.

As far as eyes affecting the equilibrium, I have problems with mine doing that too. Not all the time, but if I look up I get dizzy. I thought it was my ears too, but then sometimes when I look from side to side it will happen. When I am traveling in the car, if I am looking out the window it seems like everything is going by too fast, and it looks blurry. I don’t know if mine is an MS thing , or if I need new glasses. Maybe both?

When I wrote you last I called you my “American Idol” buddy! Its getting ready to start up again in Jan. Will you be watching?

Good to see you posting again!

Hugs, Jackie

It's been awhile since I've been here. I have been offline. Thought I was going over the road. Looks like I'm not going anywhere anytime soon.

I sure have missed all of you. And for the new comers, I hope I get a chance to get to know you. As you've probably noticed by now, these folks here are a great group of people.

A little update...Since the last time I was here, I have lost the sight in one eye. I'm starting to get used to it, but when I first lost my sight it really threw me for a loop! I thought that your equelibrium was effected by your ears, not your eyes. Well, I found out that when you only have one eye, your balance is effected greatly. Talk about vertigo... Not only that, but my depth perception is way off.

Needless to say...I've started taking my meds again. But, I have also made an appt. with a neurologist for Jan. I'm going to get another MRI and other tests to see where I'm at. I think I'm also going to see about changing the meds. Something that doesn't cause such deep, dark depressions.

Well, I guess you all probably didn't miss the blab, blab, blabbin' of this here motor mouth. I'll give it a rest now. Hope to hear from you all soon!

God bless....
