Hello! Well, it is another one of those nites – legs spasming. Have taken an extra baclofen, but it will be a while before it takes affect.
I have been playing “Quiddler” a couple afternoons a week (I should say Eddy and I have, when he is not golfing) with friends of ours that live up the street. We absolutely love the card game. Instead of numbers on the cards, this has letters. You are dealt 3, then 4, and on to 10 cards a round. You make whatever words you can out of your cards. It is really fun. I also go to the show once a week with a couple of my friends. What a group. I have TM, another has MS and just had a knee replacement, and the other has just been diagnosed with diabetes. But, we have a lot of fun together. I have also been doing volunteer work in the office of our church about once a month in the morning. Also have done volunteer work at a place called the “Wardrobe”. The people that run it go through all the clothes, etc., that are donated and put them in baskets that we volunteers put on hangers or in shelves for hanging in the main area. Of course, with both volunteer jobs, I am mostly sitting to do the work. I usually come home from the “Wardrobe” pretty pooped! After 6 years with TM now, I am still showing some improvement with leg strength. Of course, I think a lot of it is the implant I have that covers nerve pain. It just makes my legs feel stronger. Well, enough of me. Keep us informed with you and keep posting!

I've been writing back and forth with a couple of other members and they have sent me pictures of the things that they do for creative hobbies, places they've been and things they like to do. I'm stuck here in bed, in this hot,clammy weather and need some inspiration to get me through these long days. Whatever you're doing to make yourselves happy, will you send me a note and maybe some pictures of what you're doing? Does anyone know of another person who has had a leg or an arm taken off? I want to talk or write to someone who lives with an amputated limb. I am possibly going to have my leg removed, but I can't make that decision without talking to someone who has had it done. Love & Hugs, Jude
