Guest guest Posted January 16, 2008 Report Share Posted January 16, 2008 Hi Friends, Members often write and ask me about the above ladies. Both Dawn and are known by many that have been on the support groups for years. I called and talked with both yesterday. Dawn sounded fantastic. She's had another rough year, she lost both of her sisters, one from a brain tumor, and the other had a neurological disorder as well, just can't remember what it was. He brother passed away years ago from ALS. Dawn had a brain tumor removed from behind her brain stem this year, and she sounds so much better. She said she might join the group again. Since her stroke about 4 years ago she has problems with memory and she can't remember lots of the old members. If she comes back, she will probably ask lots of questions I'll stay after her until she joins again. dropped off the lists about a year ago. Her computer quit working and during the time she was off the computer, her symptoms became better. Her doctor told her to ditch the computer, and she's had a marked relief in symptoms since. She is currently working at the local college teaching home health care one day a week. She said it is lots of fun, but not nearly as satisfying as helping fellow Chiarians. She is still without a computer, so emailing her is difficult. She checks her email at the college once a week, but doesn't have much time to respond, if any time. Sorry for those that didn't know either Dawn or , but they were a part of on line support for a long time. Kathleen Diagnosed with CM/hydrocephalus 1990, decompression/shunt.

Guest guest Posted January 17, 2008 Report Share Posted January 17, 2008 I am so glad to hear that both ladies are doing well. has provided so much information to the groups, and shared wisdom for years. She deserves a break, that is for sure. I am glad she and Gismo (her little dog) are well. Dahli Dawn was very inspirational to me in the early days of my dx way back in 2001. Her words would keep me going. I look forward to her coming back, so that others may get to know this wonderful little wise woman. She is trully amazing!
