Re: Rescue CATS

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

Talk about neuro confusion here...I had meant to say " watch " cat...not " rescue "

cat. I realized it just after I hit the SEND key. Knew it was wrong, but figured

you'd get my meaning! And understand my confusion. It was funny imagining the

looks, anyway.

I haven't read the book, but I definately want to see the movie " The Beautiful

Mind. " Don't have a chance to see many movies...have to rent them on tape in

case I miss something (so I can rewind), and even then it's hard for me to keep

concentration long enough. I can watch news or documentaries, but movies are

hard for me to follow.

I worry about the empty pool. I have a great fear of empty pools. Even from a

distance, you can get vertigo. I think I may have seen too many movies about

people diving into empty pools by mistake. Supposed to be comedy, but it never

was to me. Even when apartments drain the pools in winter, it scares me that

children will climb over the locked gates and get in.

Anyway, thanks for the laugh and the movie recommendation!

Love ya,

Rose

Subject: Rescue CATS

Rose,

I'm so glad you could relate to the humor in the

realization that

the cat was smarter than I was in my brain fog!

LOL!

Did you ever read Oliver Sach's book " The Man Who

Mistook His Hst for

His Wife " - or maybe it was the Wife for the Hat,

I can't remember.

Anyway, eventually a movie was made of Dr. Sach's

work with Parkinson

patients with Robin and DiNiro.

The title escapes

me, of course, but the point is that the human

brain is so

fascinating that I often believe that if I could

go back to college

days and begin again, I would have studied

Neurology. There is so

much to discover and so much help needed for so

many people.

On this same theme of neurological impairments -

temporary or

permanent - I do recommend the new film, " The

Beautiful Mind " with

Crowe. I can remember the title because

I just saw it! I

can't tell you about it because I don't want to

give anything away,

but this is one movie about the mind that you

almost live with the

main character instead of simply watching.

Amazing stuff. And a true

story about Nash, who received the Pulizer

Prize for his work in

economics.

In any event, brain fog or no brain fog, HUMOR is

ESSENTIAL for

survival, as you well know. I think if more

caregivers realized

that, it would make it easier for them, as well.

I can certainly

laugh at myself (with love) and anyone who wants

to join in only

increases my chuckling!

In fact, perhaps, we could compile some stories

of the things we do

when Lyme starts playing around in the field of

our minds.

As to the empty pool, I keep telling my

significant other to fill it

up before I break something (meaning a bone or a

neck of my own). He

seems to think that if I just stay away from the

edge, I'll be safe.

He obviously has never had vertigo - When vertigo

strikes, the word

EDGE means as much as the words UP or DOWN! =)

Living in Faith,

T.O.I.L. for Lyme!

T=Teach tolerance; O=Overcome ignorance; I=Initiate insurance reform; L=Labor

for Lyme literacy
