Reply To: What’s going well?

wow…NGM I love your posts…trust me I’ve read a lot of them when I can’t sleep because of the pain.
I am only a few months down the road but Tom and Cathie you also touch on things that really resonate with me.
Cathie – My neuro also told me bluntly that this would take a very long time and if I wasn’t sensible I would suffer more, and I appreciate gettin it straight too. A cat turned up half dead on the patio soon after I came home from hospital, so I took it in and gave it smoked salmon, and it stayed. It has a limp like mine and spends quite a bit of time resting in an afternoon with me. Not content with that my daughter bought me home a bunny for a “visit” about a month ago. I love the darned fluffball and it loves me. Financially there have been huge cut backs, but the bills are paid and there’s plenty of food. I don’t give a toot about possessions now.
Tom- i cannot say more eloquently than you did to describe the mental changes that have gone on in me since becoming ill. It has rained here for about 7 straight days…..really torrential rain. My husband was complaining about it and I laughed and played him “Rain Rain Beautiful Rain” by Ladysmith. I love the smell of the rain hitting the pavement, and everything looks so lush and jungly because the weather is warm and wet….I’m waiting for my physical gains to come but I am not short of the inward ones.. lets keep on rocking all over the world Dixie, GB
