Yup, thats me. Lurking from afar
I would generally describe myself as a "loner", but once in awhile I get a kinda lonely feeling, like I'd like to talk to somebody other than my kids (mostly adult) that bug me all the time. Believe me, I appreciate their concern, but they really need to get a life and some friends their own age to call two and three times a day to shoot the breeze! I think this summer will get better with my oldest because they just finished their 4 (almost 5yo) sons first T-Ball sport team season so now she calls to tell me how many women have called to set up get togethers with their kids. YAY!! I think it's kinda funny that she used to say," Mom, it's pretty bad when my only FRIEND is my mom!" My reply was always ,"As soon as LW is involved with other kids you'll meet some moms and it'll get better, I promise!" Now it's happening for her and I'm so relieved!!
Ok, back to me, (but I'm sure you grandparents will understand that)...
I signed up here a couple of years ago and come in to read quite a bit but never got too involved. I had found another online community that wasen't so wrapped up specifically with MS but like so many others has gone exclusively to Facebook. It appears there's still excuses being made as to why the message boards aren't functioning STILL but I call BS because if money is the issue, well there have been plenty of offers of donations...even from those of us that really can't afford it-but hey, they now have a million facebook followers and the lady is making the rounds of the book and morning news shows!
OHHH, sorry, didn't mean to turn this into a rant
SOOO anyway, I got mostly homebound AGAIN due to pnumonia (that I spelled wrong) AGAIN, and I guess I'm just looking for some kind of community AGAIN.
I have recognised one lady from that other community, maybe more. I'm really shocked that I haven't made the connection until just a couple of days ago- HEY muse_7, I've missed you!!
That wasen't much of an intro, but one tends to have great big brain farts in the midst of recovering from pnumonia (most likely loosely MS related). What was so odd this time is I can usually tell when a runny nose flips into serious- and it can go from mild cold to hospital in about 12 hours- but this time I couldn't tell. By the time I finally saw my PCP (that knows me well by the way, over 20 years) she couldn't hear even a rattle, scared her more than me I think. Sent me straight to hospital for chest x-rays and yup, some fancy name but basically both lungs were about half loaded which is why they just sounded dead.
I'm definitely on the mend now. She did alert her office again though, if I should call feeling bad I NEED to be seen NOW, not when the next appointment comes up.
Wow, that was awful, I guess I just needed to let off some pent up steam.
Oh look, about 2 am, must be time to eat something
