Hiiiiiii SUE,
Yes, I remember those days like they were yesterday.
How silly we sometimes got. I would start LOL and my husband thought I was nuts.
Our situations do sounds alot alike...all the surgeries...YUCK!
I did start some new meds that seems to be helping me out alot in some areas anyway. My chair actually spends some time in the corner nowadays.
But, who knows how long it'll last. We know how those meds are, but right now I am counting my blessings. Wish it helped my hands out more though.
I just have to be careful not to over do it, especially because it gives me an abnormal gait. I head right towards the walls.
My mom asked if I took up drinking,LOL but then we checked the side effects and that was one.
Luckily, so far that's the only side effect I have experienced. My mom says it's plenty because she is usually the one that heads to the walls with me. HA HA
I have to be careful about falling which has only happened twice so far.
Only twice lol don't you love how I say that?
Scared my mom to death while I'm laying there laughing, saying, "I broke my hand" Funny thing is...both times I fell I said the same thing.
I better becareful because one of these days I may fall and really break something and she won't believe me. Knowing me I'd still be laughing and saying "I broke my hand". HA HA

I think of you and many others here everyday also.
And thanks for having faith in me and understanding about the book.
I never break promises I don't keep. WOW! HA HA I just took a 15 minute nap in between "you understanding" and "me keeping promises" LOL
Guess that's a sign to end huh?
Hope you're taking good care of yourself Sue and haven't gotten any snake bites lately. HA HA

Hugs,
Lisa
