Hi Everyone:

It has been eons since I posted because there was some issue between my computer and the site (long story), anyhow the webmaster must have mixed it :) :) , so i am happy to be back.

So much has been going on since I last was here, I can't even begin to explain it all. I've been in a bad mixed episode on and off, my concentration is non-existent. Thursday, my 2 giant greyhounds decided to chase a squirel while I was walking them and pulled me down to the pavement, needless to say I got hurt. I have bruising all over my right leg, my knee is torn up, and swollen, my ankle is sprain, my elbow is swollen and cut up. I have to see an Ortho on Tuesday to see is by knee needs firther treament. Oh yay. To top things off, Social Security is reviewing my case "to make sure I am still disabled" : JUST waht I need.

The BIG news: If you recall I have a son, whjo was born very rematurely (25-weks gestation). The last time I posted, we didn't have his mri results yet. We have them now and it turns out, he has something called PVL (it is damage from the bleeding in his brain taht happened when he was born). It can cause a whole bunch of problems potentially, the most commonly is cerebral palsy. We saw the neurologist and she told us all of that and confirmed he does have CP (Cerebral Palsy)...she says it is mild. He is in physical therapy already, so we are continuing that, and he will get braces on his ankes sometimeon the next few months (plastic ones, not the big metal ones).

No stress here. I am really trying to keep it together. I am already on a ton of meds. I am already in counseling. There are some things that nothing is going to help.


Sorry to come back and start venting right away. It has been a rough few months.


I hope evryone is doing ok,

Angie

Hey Angie, welcome back!
Just what I needed to cheer me up a bit.
BTW, I have a niece with moderate to (physically) severe CP, and she just had her 2nd (healthy) baby.
There is always a ray of sunshine, isn't there??

Ruth:

That is really encouraging news. Alex's CP is supposed to be pretty mild. Only time will tell, I guess. I really hope he gets to lead a normal life after having such a traumatic start. I hope you are doing well.

I've been cycling up a bit, but I am really hesitant to start YET another med. My doc called in another one, but I'm on SO MUCh already. We'll see.

I've had some bleedthru depression I think - either that or I have something physically wrong that is causing major fatigue...
I did have pneumonia for about two months - it took three antibiotics before they finally kicked it out of my system.
But I'm still SO tired. My eyelids just droop.

Are your greyhounds from the recovery program for racing dogs?? Sounds like you really got crunched...

So if you're cycling up a bit, and I'm cycling down a bit, together we are in balance, huh??
