Best wishes to you BMW.

Best wishes to you, BMW. I hope everything goes well for you.
It's good that you've got lotsa brains - I had a scan a few years back, and they said, "We didn't find anything".
Not a brain, clockwork motor, or even a hamster wheel.

Hi Shirley - very sorry to learn of your situation from Merv this evening.

I've read this thread and your posts in particular - you're one gutsy lady. I especially liked the philosophy you've drawn from the 12 step program - the Serenity Prayer i think.

You're in my thoughts - wishing you the best Shirley - best wishes Stephen O aka Aslan

Got my appointment for another scan on 12 June which is quicker than expected so will know more then and what can be done.

One thing this has done is made my family contact me. My father who has not spoken to me for years emailed me. Ok blaming me for the non-contact which I had to laugh at but ignored. He would like to visit when I am in Nelson this weekend so I have advised some convenient times. And warned him I look a bit retarded - he's not into that. Keep an open mind.

Steriods knocking me about big time but the big bonus - no depression. I am still positive which I'm grateful for. Going to see my GP this morning and have to face my financial situation etc - at least I have taken some action around that yesterday - haven't been able to face it b4. Hopeing to get this on ACC as a result of my bike accident 2 years ago. Otherwise they might put me in the home with my mum for the permanently confused. lol

Life is good despite the wee glitch. lol

Good onya girl! Keep up the positive attitude cause things might get harder and you're gonna need it to get you through! Also, dont forget to ask for help if you need it, there is no shame in that! Good luck and I hope you get through this, I know how scared you must really feel, deep down!

Bastard LOL

I hope you didn't look up as you rode away - cos I stood at the window, heard my bike and bawled my eyes out. Didn't expect that reaction. I WILL RIDE AGAIN. And you only got my bike on LOAN buddy. I will get childish and say it is MY BIKE. Quite a few have said to me = hey when ya kark it I want ya bike. LOL Rest assured if the bank don't get it - my brother does.
I can laugh and joke about my deformities - least I aint dribbbling out of the side of my mouth - YET. Eating in a restaurant is getting interesting - cos I eat cack handed - knife in left hand - so the knife has gone flying once or twice - haven't caught anyone yet.

Went and saw work today - they are absolutely amazing and will pay me until June. Big relief.

I really have felt truly blessed and humbled today. Has been a hard day but so many positives really. thank you all for your suport and good wishes. I truly value them.

Cheers Shirley
