I know that it has been a while sense I have been online. One: Just now got internet back. Times are very tough for us and very hard. But we are slowly getting back on our feet. Two: I am doing fine. Just taking it day by day. Nothing has changed. I do not like night time any more because it is rough for me to go outside. I am limited to what I can do every day. Doctor has permittly put me out of work. Have talked to a lawyer about my dis ability and now it is a waiting game. All in all everything else is going great. Hope this finds all my friends doing fine. mamakat0

I hope things will just keep getting better and better for you. Be sure to do as much as you can at home... I slacked for a while, and am now having a hard time getting it back. Now I know that 'use it or lose it' is true... keep your strength, my friend!

I know what you mean. The other day I was doing dishes and broke a glass. That was 4 days ago and I am afraid to do dishes now but if we want to eat I have to. I just miss doing things that I love doing like reading a book. :):):)

If we do it right, we may get more back than we think... I just keep finding different ways of doing things... at least I can accomplish 'coming up with good ideas'!

Hi mamakato! You have no idea how good it is to hear from you and I've been thinking a lot about you and wondering how you were. I always get so concerned when I don't hear or see some of my friends here...so many have seemed to disappeared! I didn't realize you were having problems with your internet but glad you're back. Do hope you can get benefits for disability...believe me I know first hand how slow SSI is Take care of yourself and glad you're back!!

Hi pye, :) It feels good to be back but all the stuff I used to do I am having to go about it slowly. My headaches started back so I am only allowing my self about one hour a day on the computer.

Glad to see you are making a come back.. Sorry that you can no longer work. I have been out of work myself since June of 2005. I don't know if I will ever be able to return... I was originally out because I was getting cellulitis and being hospitalized for IV antibiotics about every other 3 weeks. My boss asked me to take a leave of absence.. I applied for SSI and got it after about a year. In the mean time I had long term disability so that was good. I had been out for almost two years before that with flesh eating bacteria. Which is why I would get the cellulitis so frequently. Well that has all but stopped but last August while in the hospital they tried to help me up from the x-ray table..I said wait my back..but they pulled anyway. Now I have a large herniated disc causing spinal stenosis and possible nerve damage...good thing I have the SSI or I would be on the streets. I have been to my doctor at the pain clinic every 3 months for shots and nothing has worked yet...I am so debilitated I can only walk about 20feet with my cane before having to rest with spasms. I do hope things work out for you. Brightest Blessings, Mari

Hi mamakat0 I'm so very glad to see you here. I'm sorry to hear that you've been without your internet, but am thankful that you have it back. I do pray that your disability comes through for you soon. Please continue to take care of yourself, as you've had so much to deal with, and hopefully you'll be able to spend a bit more time here, as I have really missed you, as I'm sure others have.

I'm sorry to hear about your mom, but glad she's coming along okay. It's wonderful that you have a great sister to help you out. I have a sister like that too. I'm hoping to see you around here a bit more, when you're able.
