RE: [TMIC] Tuesday am
BARNEY: THANKS FOR YOUR WORDS OF ENCOURAGEMENT. I MADE IT THROUGH THE DAY WITHOUT ANY PROBLEMS. THE ONLY PROBLEM I ENCOUNTERED WAS GOING TO THE BATHROOM. MY WALKER WOULD NOT FIT IN THE CUBICLE BUT SINCE THE SPACE WAS SMALL I WAS ABLE TO LEAVE THE WALKER OUT OF THE CUBICLE AND WITH HOLDING ON TO THE DOOR WAS ABLE TO GET IN AND TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS. THE CLOSEST BATHROOM DOES NOT HAVE HANDICAP FACILITIES. THERE IS ONE BUT IT IS FARTHER AWAY AND I WAS DETERMINED TO MAKE THIS ONE WORK AND I DID. I ADMIT THAT BY 5:00 I WAS READY TO CALL IT A DAY. I AM ONLY WORKING THE ONE DAY THIS WEEK, BUT NEXT WEEK I WILL BE DOING MY 2 AFTERNOONS A WEEK WHICH WAS WHAT I WAS DOING BEFORE I GOT SICK. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOU ARE DOING PRETTY GOOD WORKING FULL TIME. I AM GLAD I WAS SEMI-RETIRED WHEN TM HIT. IT SOUNDS LIKE YOUR EMPLOYER IS GLAD TO HAVE YOU SINCE THEY DID SO MUCH TO MAKE YOUR DAY EASIER. I WAS PRETTY TIRED WHEN I GOT HOME AND THANKFUL I WAS PLANNING ON HAVING LEFTOVERS FOR DINNER. I GUESS WE CAN'T GIVE UP OR WE ARE LOST. I NEED THE MENTAL STIMULATION BEING WITH PEOPLE SO I DON'T GET MORE DEPRESSED, SO I HOPE I CAN KEEP WORKING. I AM THANKFUL FOR MY HUSBAND WHO DOES SO MUCH FOR ME AROUND THE HOUSE.

Re: [TMIC] Tuesday am
Patti, You will do just fine. Just getting back to work will give you the energy to hang in there. I know exactly how you feel. I had to go back with a walker. It was a bit humiliating but God gives us what we need when we need it. So stay strong, remember you are never alone, God will always send you an angel to help you if you need it. I cannot open many of the heavy doors at school, clinics etc. but it seems that there's always some kind person ready to help me - some much older than I and some very surprising young angry looking kids that turn out to be angels.!!! At first my pride would not let me accept the help but I have learned it is good to give and to receive! Have wonderful day let us know how it goes!

Well made it thru surgery, had no clue it was going to hurt so much later. I have a drain tube coming out of my neck, once they check it they might let me go home today. Need lots of pain meds right now!! They have these compression wraps around my legs that squeeze and release my legs from ankles to thighs. To stop blood clots and let me tell you they feel great!! Its likes having leg messages now this is something I want to take home! They are going to set me up with some physical therapy; I have some weakness in my arms which I don't need with the wheel chair walker. Still working on 1 to 4 hours sleep so having a hard time with consternation and memory issues, I have to write everything down.. If all goes well I will be back to work Monday! And will have an income to pay for all of this Yippee So once I find out if I am going home I will pass the word on! Thanks again for all the encourgement and prayers I can really feel the support and friendship
