Hi, Sam!

You can trust these two...and a few others around here.

I am lucky to KNOW these people have tried a few things...and know what they're talking about.



I am just learning, but I know a thing or two, myself.


I could give out theories till the cows come home...and I've thought up some dandies...but, until I experiment for myself...and have an actual change, I had better keep my mouth shut.


I have been trying to make improvements while continuing to smoke...which may be as silly as trying while eating commercially prepared bacon...etc.


Anyway, I have HALF stopped smoking...and I DON'T go into a conniption fit over a cigarette...which scared dh, in anticipation.

I HAVE felt pretty angry, once...and I am braving a few things I have not tried before...but no one has divorced me or anything.

:D


The past few days or so, I've had aches in the same track, over my head, that I've had off and on for a long, long time.

Sometimes it starts in one eyebrow...sometimes higher.

When it was very bad I went to Emergency, and they gave me a CAT scan which showed nothing.


However, so far so good. I'm feeling better, all over, than I ever expected to...so, when I get upset, just ignore me...or throw me chocolate chip cookies, or something.

Make that tasty salad greens, will you?


Love you.



[[ I am rereading this post February 1st, 2011 and I see that it was written on July 15th, 2009, the day I had a stroke, in the afternoon, while shopping at Super Store. (I remember a small hustle to catch up to my husband, and he said that I was limping a bit as I hurried past him, to go to the washroom.

There, I noticed that my leg wasn't working well and that I needed to lean on the sink counter to move past it.

Out of the washroom I made my way by what I now know as 'wall-walking'...clinging to any projection for certainty that I wouldn't fall down. My left leg felt 'hollow'.

I made my way to the lottery tickets counter, bought one, and sort of flung myself at the checkstands to hold on until my husband came.

I wanted to go home, and sleep. But I couldn't sleep, and when I slid to the living room floor when we tried to rig a pottie to pee in, my husband called Emergency.

I didn't object, as usual, because it seemed like a good idea to me...at last.

Paramedics came, and an ambulance. As I was sitting on the carpet, with my pants down, all I could do is laugh a little.

Later, a friend who 'knows' told me that laugh saved me some damage. I believe her...she is gifted, knowing things about my health without being told. Listen to any suggestions by anyone who 'knows'.

They ARE among us and should be appreciated.


Anyway, if you'd like to know more of my story send me a Personal Message (Contact fledgling - above).

And, remember this...ones capabilities RETURN as you try to get around after this kind of an incident, but maybe not as quickly as you would wish. The body works....patiently. Wait for it, and try small new things daily, to not get in a rut.

Every few days you feel a tiny bit more confident than before...you can accomplish a tiny bit more than yesterday.

Enfold yourself in sleep and small amounts of very good food, and water, as well as a little of the best salt, and peaceful living...they will repair you.

You will learn how to rebuild your body...and it is not quite what you expected, believe me.

The most wonderful gift you can have when down with a stroke, or any illness, is a companion who instinctively knows how to care for you.

I was very, very fortunate to have my husband as my caretaker.

Luckily, I had already learned how to appreciate him. There are times for me to remain silent, too. :)

Good luck! ]]



[[[ Another thing that happens, automatically, as your body begins to heal, or maybe just as you grow up, is that the 'stuck' places in your life come to the fore. You review the unresolved incidents over your whole life, and put them to rest. You discover how little importance they hold in your life.

Letting them go is far more important.

They come up when you least expect them. You have a little tear, and feel strangely free and refreshed...ready for the the next thing you'll learn.

Recently I had an incident happen where I could become very angry at two people. But, I didn't want to.

Sitting in my big chair I suddenly could feel love for the two women in my right hip and up my side. It was a physical feeling and it didn't last long. I knew it was a sign to go with my best instincts.

I've found that some, or all, of my emotions have a physical feeling attached. I didn't recognize that before. I thought many emotions had a 'reasoning' reaction, only.

It is amazing what the body can do, all by itself. ]]]
