and blessings

[Guest guest]

Dear ,I'm so sorry to hear about your increase in symptoms. It is much better, isn't it, when you count your blessings. I make gift card and scrapbook myself, and as long as you have a comfortable chair, it seems to be something we gimps can do in short spurts. I have also taken up finishing my geneology on Ancestry.com. I have loading 455 name so far and am starting to scan in matching photos. I'm trying to have it finished by Christmas, so I can give it as a "gift" to anyone named in the family tree.Hope you feel better soon. Oh, and do you watch that scrapbooking show on television -- a great many tips to be had there.--To: Neurosarcoidosis Sent: Tue, November 16, 2010 8:58:55 AMSubject: Re: Hello? Hello? Anybody there?

I've had problems with my right leg after doing some exercises(mildest yoga in bed) and have been using my cane around the house for the last week. My mom has been really sick so have had added stress from that. So there will be no Thanksgiving at Grandma's house this year. We will have to do something here for my family. Got some money back from mistake i made doing taxes which will probably pay for home health nurse visits. I am still debating whether there will be any decorating for Christmas this year. I am leaning towards No but that idea makes me feel very sad. How much more will being so sick take from me?! My nurse has been suggesting i do something for myself every day like scrapbooking or painting so I have been working on scrapping and i am

getting caught up for

this year. I would have almost no pictures if it wasn't for my youngest son's girlfriend making copies of her pics for me. On a scale of 1-10 my depression has gone down one point but the pain up one point cuz of leg pain. But i have a warm house and bed, more than enough food to eat, bills mostly paid(lol), a dvr to tape shows when i sleep way too much, computers to shop, talk and read many encouraging posts. There are days when it seems more than i can handle but when i start listing my blessings, ...well, then it doesn't seem quite so bad as it could be. I have much to be grateful for despite this ass-biting illness. .....lol S. Life may not always be the party we hoped for, but

while

we're here we might as well dance!
