It sounds like I had a different experience from the rest of you with rehab. After my initial 8-day stay in the hospital while they ran tests and diagnosed TM, my neurologist wanted me to go into a 10-day stay in the rehab unit of the hospital. My insurance wouldn't cover that. I couldn't drive

Dalton, you are so right. I am older than most of the TMers, and I remember most of my friends had a grandma and/or grandpa as part of the family. My grandparents were gone before I was born, but my husband's family took care of the grandparents until the end. My husband and I moved to Waupaca,

Hi, I just got off the phone with Cindy. She is in better spirits now that they have her infection under control, but is not out of the woods yet. She could use a lot of thoughts and prayers and even a card or two. I am sure she would love to hear from her friends on the list, so here is her

I am so glad you don’t need bypass, that is terrible! I had 5 of them 2 and a half years ago, not fun. Stints are not so fun, just take your meds and STOP SMOKING!! Exercise is now very important for you, no excuses, get back in the water and eat better! Stay well, Heart stuff really is

Oh my gosh Gunny. First of all, very thankful to hear that you got to the Hospital in time! I'm sure it was no picnic having a stent put in your clogged artery. Right Right and Right on each of the areas of our lives that need to be cleaned up, if that's what we're guilty of. I have to

I can not believe this happened to you. I bet you really are feeling a lot of pain, but I am glad they are able to do the other artery too. Maybe a few prayers are in order. Also, you give good advice. Thanks and good luck. Keep us posted! Janice From: bgunny7...@aol.com Sent:
