hi maria, so glad to see your entry. was becoming concerned knowing your were struggling with that cough and pain it created. and was your dr able to give you relief? i hope you are better. n thanks for the comforting words.Your mom sounds like a good friend. my mom is crashed on couch in family room. bless her heart she tried to move things around in her room yesterday and boxed herself into a corner. i wish you could have seen her and the whole situation. i smile now but yesterday i didn't know whether to laugh or cry. entertained the idea for 2 seconds, 'call 911,' n nixed it immediately. the only way i could help her was to stand there as she used me and the wall for balance n she hoisted herself over the headboard. one of those old fashioned iron beds n thank goodness, it was strong enough to support her weight. my son is bringing the kids over so he'll be able to help get it all back where it was. still, between the 2 of us, her with the brain damage and me with unpredictable day to day symptoms, we make a whole person. i pray God doesn't take her too soon but it kills me knowing shes buried my youngsest brother, another who's messed up his life and out of the picture and here she is with her oldest only i'm no longer able to give her the peace of mind i once did. She frets about what will happen to me once she's gone tho our faith in God keeps us assured that no matter what comes, we will be ok in his hands. i felt bad too that i wasn't all there for the kids. it was fairly nice out yesterday but i was leery that the earlier symptoms might come back so i kept them inside. wouldn't let my mom take them outside alone. my husband brought home a pup shortly after we arrived in calif. we already had 2 large dogs n 2 cats that we had brought with us. i'm sharin this with you only because what i feared and had initally tried to get him to understand is now occuring. poor thing is so bored, teething. he's such a sweet pup but he's gonna be a huge dog. he' was eating the walls of the out side exterior of the house yesterday. my daugher in law scolded him for it but i don't want her to have to deal with it. i try to get outside at least 3 times a week to pick up all the poo which is at times alot. i also try to get the lawns mowed but lately i am doing good to just take care of the kids. as you know my husband travels and is at the moment on the east coast. wont be home till the end of the month. another watch dog is his stand. still we take it one day at a time and i work with 'judge' as i 'm able. warned my husband the pup has created 2 new projects for him. i hope today, for that matter, the weekend is better than the last couple of days.the babies knees are showing the carpets need cleaning again. this morning so far so good. feeling ok tho my head feels heavy n as usual the ringing is constant. i apologize for the rambling and thanks for listening. time to hit the shower and get my day going. i hope you and everyone else has a great weekend. take care n God bless lee ps, are you aware of the 1058 signiture petition that was submitted to the world health organization. Dia, can't remember her last name, she's been on this site, started the ArachnoidCystAwareness.com site. the signitures are from all over the world. She also submitted a video in which she reads a letter asking this organization to please help those like us by recognizing the need to educate the medical community on the suffering caused by these cysts, recongize it as a disease needing research and better treatment of paitients. you tube has numerous videos too backing up what she 's n all those are saying in signing the petition. i'm 329. say a prayer or several that they do.
