,

I had trouble with nutrasweet right after surgery, now 3 months out I can tolerate it.. I dumped on SF jello 5 days after surgery...

I also have a message for you, I was at Dr. Thayer's office last Wednesday for my 3 month checkup and ran into who was in the hospital for a revision while you were in there. She asked me to give you her email, tweety1955@....

REally?? Wonder what it is that bothered you so much. I guess that's a good

thing, as it will be

easier for you to give it up. I really should drink more water but I hate it

unless it's ice

cold. I've been considering buying one of those water coolers. My sister has

one and her family

started drinking alot more water as soon as they got it. Just gotta talk hubby

into it. LOL.

Hope you're feeling okay today.

Sorry to hear your hubby has to work that much. We can be single PM moms

together!! My hubby leaves here at 8am and doesn't get home until 8 or 9

some nights. I really miss him, especially when I am having a bad pm day.

You'd better start out now so you don't get stuck in the snow. It will

probably take awhile by scooter....

Oooooohhhhh, I'm soooo jealous. What a gorgeous house. I love the

layout!! If you could see the dinky 2 bedroom house we're renting out,

you'd laugh. It will do for now, but the INSTANT we get our credit

back, we're buying a nice, 3 bedroom, 2 bathroom house and that can't

come soon enough for me. I also want a mini-van. That will come sooner

than the house, thankfully. Our little Dodge Neon is pretty cramped.

Not much of a wish list, eh???

Hugs,

Dawn

Bloodhounds...pfui!

right side is aggravated. Oh, just old me. Gee, I'm

Hi Dawn, Yep these attacks are scary. You'd think I'd get use to

them?? Beck enjoyed visiting with everyone, she has a hard time

remebering the words she wants to say. She says its like she can see

the word in her mind but can't remember how to say it. Does your aunt

that has MS ever experience this. Becks seems to be the worse when

she gets to tired and worried. I sure hope we all get our SSD soon.

Does it take as long in Canada to get it as it does here in the

states? I think I told you it took beck 2 years for her to get hers.

Her case moved through the system faster than what mine is. I put in

my appeal in April and still havent gotten my court date. Knowing my

luck I will get it next Jan. when theres snow and ice on the roads,

lol. I see where you've had some R & R from the kids. Hope you got some

much needed rest and the kids had alot of fun. You all have a great

weekend. Lem

Hi, Lem. As for my Aunt, I think her symptoms worsen when she's over-tired

and I know the heat bothers her. It seems to drain all life from her. How

about Beck? It was nice hearing from her for a change and please tell her

she can post anytime she wants. I'm sure the others won't mind a bit. I'm

not sure about the usual length of time it takes up here for the SSD to go

through but I sure hope it's not 2 years. I pray that I will get approved

this time and won't have to go to trial. I'll be a complete basket-case if

that happens. When you go to court, make sure you lay it on THICK!! I'm

sure you don't have to do much acting, seeing how you can't even drive a car,

but you know what I mean. It will be a big relief to get everyone's SSD

approved, don't ya'll think?? )

Take care,

Dawn

Hi Dawn, Just hiding in the house today, it is so hot outside today.

The heat bothers beck really bad like your aunt. The heat makes old

MS symptoms flair up. We stayed home this morn. Didn't go to church.

Every time beck would go to sleep last night she would wake herself

up shaking. She has been very weak and tired today. She is also

having pain again in her shoulders. The cortizone shot she got

Thursday didn't last her very long. So hows it going with your

girls? I know your all having some great girl talk. is

enjoying her new school so much. All the kids have made her feel very

welcome. I have a apt. with my rhummy this Wed. Curious to see what

he's going to do with me, lol. Hope you had a great weekend. Lem

Hi Dawn

I feel so much better today.... took a nice long nap and put my oxygen

on while I snoozed. In another hour I'm going outside and do some

painting.... YEA! Cool breeze is blowing and I'm loving it.

I really did love my chinese food.... I could eat that all the time.

But, I'd be as big as a house. Can you believe it's almost the end of

August...???? Seems like only yesterday that it was the 1st. Time

sure does fly when you're having so much fun, huh?

Take care,

Vicki

[Guest guest]

Hi, Vicki. So glad you're feeling better today. Sounds like your oxygen

helps you alot. It's cooler today here, as well, and I'm also loving it. I

love it when there's a cool crispness to the air. Ahhhhh.....

I thought the bubbles were funny!! We had a good time and Brody thought it

was great!! He was not quite two and he was in heaven......It was funny.

Sometimes you just have to laugh at these things.....it's easier than getting

mad.

That's so true. Especially when children are involved. Sometimes it's hard to

keep that in mind though. LOL.

Dawn,

I understand what you are saying and I don't take it the wrong way.

My son is a social butterfly and always has to be on the go. That is

why I hate to have him cooped up in the house. I don't mind him

going and doing. I do mind not being able to take him to go and do

if that makes any sense.

Yes, it does make sense and I understand. I'm the same way and it really

makes me doubt how good of a mom I am to my kids because I just can't do the

things they want to do. For instance, walk to the park (because we're

without a vehicle when hubby's working) or going for a bike ride. I can't

walk any distance at all. Partly my PM, but mainly my asthma. It sucks,

I'll admit, but just loving him and letting him know that is enough

somedays. Other days, your hubby and relatives can also help out. Things

will get better. )

Love,

Dawn
