maybe write a book?

I have thought in the past couple of years that I would write a book. At first thought that book was going to be one making a biblical comparison of the 12 steps. I had been heavily involved in al anon at the time and was finding myself discouraged that the God part was so lacking. Its a long story.

Recently thinking that if only I could express my thoughts and feelings better that a book about what this experience has been like might be a good one.

Who knows???

The nurse practitioner at one of my neurologists mailed me a book to read. About a doctor's experience after a head injury. I havent found the peace to sit and read yet.

I think if anything I would write something about the gifts I have received through this experience. I dont always see them yet, but I do know they are definately there. Maybe someday.

Thought i HAD AN APPOINTMENT WITH THE LOCAL NEUROLOGIST TOMORROW BUT WHEN i WENT TO CHECK, FOUND IT'S NOT TIL dECEMBER!

I think I will leave it at that. Kinda wanted to go in a way because of this pain...seems to be getting worse not better and now in my leg as well as my arm. Almost feel that a cane is coming into my future. Fall alot. Lose balance and BAM!!!!

Geuss I need to think about social security too...that is a hard one...feels like no hope to me/

I cant lose hope!

Mary, sometimes I use a cane and sometimes I don't...depends on balance and fatigue. I find it is much better than falling and trying to get up or injuring myself. I also thought I would be able to return to work, but that is out of the question and I am on disability. Yes it kind of "stung" at first but I have come to look at it is an early medical retirement...

Ray and I both worked prior to his stroke. At first having the Disability Pension and Carers Pension as they are called here seemed demeaning. Now six years post-stroke we think of ourselves as retired. It is no big deal. Our retirement is working out well, not what we planned but what happened is the reality.

Mary,

I am sure you could write a book at this point with the experience of being a care giver and survivor,as myself. You would have a great deal to contribute to a book

and I could share my experiences with you for your book.

For many moths i thought there was nothing positive about stroke,but now i can come up with some positive aspects.

Hope you get relief of that pain in some way!

Take Care
