I sure hope that i was missed by at least someone while I was vacationing on the sad and quite lonely isle of Banment.It is a lovely little island just east of the sea of stupidity,and has a stunning view of the island of regret and remorse. while wondering through the woods one day, I came upon a huge tree and I saw some writing on it.I stepped a little further in so i could read what was carved into the tree,and much to my surprise, I read "Y and K were here"!Luckily, after sending some notes in a few bottles, i was actually rescued by the SSMOD.after i promised to behave myself, he was kind enough to let me ride along in his boat until we came home here to the land of boards.I can't thank him enough for his kindness.the island of Banment is'nt a very nice place to visit, and I definitely wouldn't want to live there.I am just so darn happy to be home again!!! Marcia :wave:













Just wanted to say thank you to the mods.please have a really good sense of humor,and a really nice day!!

I hear it's a bummer of an isle to vacation on....(not even little drinks with umbrellas to cheer you up). I envision it kinda like 'All-Star Survivor' -- each exile waiting around with a 'doused flame' till the boat picks you up. Glad that tribal council re-torched you! And, yes, you were missed! :) Great to have you back. :bouncing: :blob_fire

Marcia,
You were definitely missed -- welcome back! Just a lot of activity of the board. It is a challenge to keep up somedays. I'm sure glad you are back with us! :bouncing:

Welcome Back Marcia !!!!!!!!!!!!! ;)

i too visited the island once.....found no treasures only mirages of other lost islands....i also had found some other survivors who also came aboard the ship i built out of o-bead-n-ant wood that floated us bac k to civilization....we(speaking on bee-half)of the other survivors are glad to be back on dry land and thinking strait....not goin to walk the plank again........chef

Hey Marcia,

I'm glad to see you back on the Boards. And Yes, that was a Y&K on the tree. I hope you added a M there too. Otherwise, how are you doing.?????

Kinda...

Yes, i carved a great big "M" right underneath the Y and K.you could have left me a little more room though,what are the other banies gonna do when they find no more room?we need to be very respectful of others.It really was a very sad trip to the isle.I really missed being able to connect with the people here.there were so many times that i would read something that i really felt that i could help with but couldn't as the island is not wired for my pC. I am really really glad to be back and i feel so good to see that i really was missed!that just made my day you know?i really do just love to help people.If there is any way that anything that I have ever posted made some kind of a difference in someones life, well, I do feel that i have done something really positive and that really helps with this depression.
I am going in next week for another ESI in my lower back to try and rid my legs of some of this really nasty spacticity.the last one didn't really do a whole lot for the real pain,but it did help relieve the spacticity,so it really is worth having.i also had a stellate ganglion block for the upper torso pain a couple weeks ago and it did absolutely nothing.i was rather disappointed.I was hoping for at least a little relief.we will just have to try something else i guess.at least I have some options.
You still sound chipper kinda.Glad to see that.I think getting back to work was really the best therepy for you.it is really amazing how much it does for you.i so wish i could do something again.still no word on the disability yet,and i am not holding my breath.I had the most weird experience the other day.My Dr filled out the paperwork for me to get a handicapped designation for my car,and i went down to the DMV to get it.as soon as i saw that little wheelchair insignia on the temporary registration that the lady was filling out,i felt this big old tear start to run down my face.it was really a bad experience you know?I just never expected something as simple as that causing such an emotional reaction.i guess it just hit home.I am finding really strange things will affect me in ways that i never would have expected them to.I think everything and the permanence of it all is really starting to hit me.thank god i have a really good therepist to help me deal with all of this crap.well, thats enough depressing news for one day.Thanks for asking about me kinda.and to everyone else, thank you for missing me.i really needed to hear something positive.once again you came through for me.Thanks.hope things stay upbeat for ya kinda. oh, before I forget, Yinksy, I found a copy of the Ashton manual sitting on a rock on the island.i am almost certain that it is yours.what ever shall i do with it?teehee.Bye for now take care guys, marcia

Welcome Back! I often feel as if one day I, too, will win a free trip to the island. So please keep the Ashton manual handy. I might as well have something to do while I'm there. :D

Your reaction to the wheelchair insignia is so understandable. I think that when we are confronting new situations we never know at what times which things will hit us particularly hard. It's like even though we are dealing with the situation all the time....any special reminders of it can just set us off.

I'm so sorry you're going through all that pain---physical and emotional--but am so glad you are back to share it with us. :wave: Lynn
