Don't speak so quick. I don't know how long it will take for me to get back to 
it.  I messed myself up pretty bad with my back.  A lot of therapy is still 
needed.  I'm still trying to figure out how to get to my feet so I can get 
dressed in a fair amount of time. LOL.

  Stacy - 

  Don't feel bad about graduating when you are 35. I started working on my 
doctorate at 38 - now I'm 40 and hope to graduate in another year or two. TM 
hit me the same DAY that I started school - can you believe it?

  Instead of being in class, or at work, i was in the hospital paralyized 
from the waist down. Had I not listen to that inner voice, instead of the 
idiots at work, it would have been full paraylized with loss of blatter instead 
of have a partial problem with my right leg. Thank God I walked  well 
limped and drug myself off the job and went to the clinic. My boss wrote me up 
for defiance but they all back tracted when they realized how much trouble they 
were about to get into. 

  Keep working on your school - slowly but surely you'll have it out of the 
way!!

have a down time in May before I broke my back when everyone was graduating bc 
I was also supposed to graduate and I still have 2 years left.  I am only 33

lot of debt to pay off and want to one day own a house and have it paid off 
before I retire which seems it  might be impossible but in reality I know its 
not.

I think we do learn from each other and without this and that quadlist, 
I would be lost without knowing what to do. I do more reading here hence the

  Hi Stacy,

  You Rock!  I absolutely believe that you will get you degree, whether it be a 
masters and doctrine or not, you will be able to bring awareness to students 
going into the field.  And, if you go into social work of any kind, you will do 
that as well.  You have the kind of determination that is needed to succeed and 
get yourself going, even after the problems and surgeries you've had with your 
spine.  I think you can go one step backward and two steps forward, and not all 
of us can do that.  YOU GO GIRL!!

  Anytime you are feeling like you need a pep talk, just let me know.  I'm here 
for you!

  Hugs, Barbara A

[TMIC] Hi Stacy

2007-09-14 Thread Regina Rummel
The more I read our emails, the more amazed I am at the challenges some of us 
put up with and still manage to retain our sanity.  To be hit with this at 33, 
well, it's too young...  But children get it too...  That you feel strong 
enough to consider going on with your studies is a good sign, and who else can 
be of more help to the disabled as you intend to be, but you, who's been in 
that yukky boat.  Anyway, good luck Stacy, I still think that you are the 
brave one.
   
  As for me, my TM problem was diagnozed in 2004, but symptoms were there long 
before but not recognized.  I struggle with it.  I get discouraged at times and 
send these depressed emails.  You should see me pause before pressing that 
send prompt.  And after sending it, I hate myself, calling myself a cry-baby 
and hating to check the responses in shame.  But you know, that's what we're 
all about, isn't it?  Helping each other, no matter what.  And then I'm so 
touched by the responses.  You are all so kind.
   
  Stacy, I wish I were closer to you so I could visit you and help you.  They 
do say that it's the thought that counts, but in this case, it hardly seems 
enough.
  In friendship.
  R
