Rosalie, Thank you! and may you have a happy, holy Yom Kippur. I wish all of us would have one day set aside to ask for forgiveness!! I know the world would be a better place.
TM hit me in 2001.. I don't remember "normal" anymore. and I used to hold in my feelings and found it to be a huge mistake. Not that I am a constant complainer, but one of my friends just a few months ago could not believe that I am in constant pain from my waist down. So now I just jokingly say when someone asks how are you? Oh, you know how it is, you gotta get up and get out of bed each day!! So then if they REALLY want to know how I am. "sit down, dear, this is going to take awhile". :-) I was so upset with my neurologist one day I said. "O.K. now I want you to tell me how I am feeling, what is happening to my legs!!! Do you really understand ?? It helped me a little to get that out.. Take care. and know that each day I ask the God of my Faith to be with and give you strength and courage! Trudy _____ From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, September 21, 2007 7:41 PM To: tmic-list@eskimo.com Subject: [TMIC] L'Shona Tova For all of you that are Jewish and everyone else, have a Happy and Healthy New Year. May the coming year bring us all peace and a feeling of well being and perhaps a little more medical insight into our problems. I, for one, have not felt "normal" since Labor Day weekend 2005. If one more person tells me what a great attitude I have I am going to bop them one. I never let my feelings show on the outside so they never know what it is like to live with TM. Thank goodness for this list of understanding people. I may not write to often but I empathize with all of you. By the way, had drinks with a TMer who lives near me. We met without the spouses and had a wonderful talking session. Finally put a face to someone on the list. Stay well, Rosalie PS Lets try to get all of those non-handicapped people out of our parking spaces. That is one of my biggest pet peeves. _____ See what's new at AOL.com <http://www.aol.com?NCID=AOLCMP00300000001170> and Make AOL Your <http://www.aol.com/mksplash.adp?NCID=AOLCMP00300000001169> Homepage.
