    Hello. I did call you today I was pretty sure it was your voice. But then again I could be wrong. LOLI am in this house 8  months and still don't have everything put away where it belongs. I ma tired of doing it all myself so I quit for quite awhile.

      I have been trying so hard to get myself motivated to do constructive things during the day.

     I fell last night getting out og the car. Was in the back seat and my foot got stuck in the seat belt and it was like someone knocked my legs right out from under me. My frigin knee is killing me. hurts like a SOB But I will live to fall another day. ROFLAO

    Hey girlfriend,

       How's it going?

     Things here are the same. Nothing ever changes. I am however forcing myself to get this house together. I have been procrastinating for long enough now. Besides I have a HUD inspection comming up soon. All must be in order.

     Hope all is well with you. I may try giving you a call today before I go out tonight.

    Hey Leah, sorry I don't know much about the coiling as mine had ruptured and I had an emergency cratinomy.  The best advise I can give is find another Dr. that will help you, I know that is hard any kind of change throws me in a tailspin.  I also have vision problems no depth perception or perferial vision guess that's why my last three cars were all dented up.  I call it an oopsie.   Nothing they can do to correct it.   I have a few friends that still suffer from those headaches from the coiling.  There just isn't enough research or knowledge out there for the ones of us that do survive, they really don't know what to do with us because we are survivors.   I'm here if you ever want to chat as nobody understands unless they have gone through it themselves.

     Honey It sounds like you need to go back to the DR. If he won't help you keep pushing till you find one that will.

      I hope it does clear up for you soon. Good luck.

    Hey I was talking to a Medic friend of mine today. Was talking about TBI/ABI and i mentioned you and that you might have to get a shunt eveentually. He told me his wife had one put in and hers didn't work right away. He says if you ever get one and it doesn't work rightaway. Do some bending and stretching excersises. Seem when they ran the tub to her stomache a piece of fat blocked the valve. With the therapt she was in the stretching and bending exercises she did it opened it up and it worked fine then.

     Thought I'd pass that on to you.

    Hi there,

      My Neuro Appt. went great. I don't have to go back for 10 yrs. now unless I have any problems.

     Leah you need to keep up with your DR. appts. You know it's probably depression causing you to feel so down with everything. Don't let it take over.

     Looking like Daughter is ending her marriage. I am doing what I can to help her out.

     Joe and I had another argument. I am so damned impulsive. I pulled my ring off again and gave it back. He has it and I don't know where it is. I did ask him and he said where he put it but I didn't see it. He probably figures I went and got it and put it back on. Anyway I will not ask for it back. Don't feel I deserve it right now. As for us getting along our talks after fughts are getting better. Their still are alot of issues to settle if we can settle them.

     I see things where his son is concerned but He is in denial about alot of it. So I am just giving up. I will not put up with things I don't like though. If he doesn't want to make the kid stop doing what bugs me the he can live alone with his son.

     I won't settle for anything less than what I want in life anymore.

     

     Take care,

     Bonnie
