Re: Celiac checkup

Madison, it is okay to want to be positive, but there really are times that we just do not feel
that way, and that is okay. Never hesitate to write someone when you are feeling down. THAT is
what FRIENDS are for! I get frustrated every now and then because I had plans for this time in
my life, and WHAM! now the time is here, and I'm not able to do what I wanted. I've really
pushed my doctors about my quality of life. BUT, I learned a long time ago that there are other
things that can take the place of those shattered dreams. I'm just having to dream new dreams
now. *s* My new chair is going to enable me to reach for new stars, and THAT is exciting!!

I'm glad you got to go to the mall. I know I am excited about going soon because I got my
motorized chair last week, and I'm going to be able to shop as I'd like to, and not with my
husband having to push me everywhere. Men just do NOT know how to shop like women!! He thinks
that I have thoughts of buying whatever I look at. LOL He doesn't realize that it is fun just
to look, and to study everything that is out there. He is so sweet, though. This afternoon he
told me that whenever we do make it to the mall that he will leave me to myself to shop as I
want so that I do not feel self-conscious. Sweet, huh? Looks like I've trained him well in
these 44 years. LOL

It is good that your friends are wanting to come by. That ought to do a lot to lift your
spirits. What all do you do that interests you? I am a graphic artist, and up until just
recently, kept busy with my art work here on my laptop (my eyes have been affecting my art
work). A major point has come in my life, I think, because I am contemplating getting rid of my
big computers, and just keeping our laptops networked (I gave him one for our 44th anniversary
in March). My laptops have been a life saver for me when it got to the point that I could not
sit at my desk any longer. I have been keeping the idea open that I *will* get back over there,
but *reality* has hit me, and even if my legs and such get better, I am not sure that sitting at
my desk will be possible. I've built my own laptop to meet my graphical needs, and it is more
powerful than my desk computers.

I wish I could get Ashley to write you; I will talk to her about it. You both have things that
you could share with each other, giving each other a boost in ways others could not. She is a
survivor today because of all the group type support that we had during her rough time, and
therapy. Letting others into our lives gives us more strength than what we have alone.

Do you have a picture of your kitty? I have four of them, two which were raised from droppers.
They couldn't even walk when I took them in. One of them stays with me almost 100% of the time.
That is Missie Nicole (middle name of my 11 y/o granddaughter). Calley Elizabeth (Ashley's
middle name) is her twin. I am the only mama these two have ever had. The oldest one,
Precious, is Ashley's whom she got when she was in Kindergarten; she is ten years old. A lady
had them outside the gym after gymnastics one day, and Ashley was able to twist my arm. *vbg*
Then, there is Anna Kay, part Siamese and part tabby, which I *think* she is what is called a
ragdoll. Her middle name is that of our daughter Debbie. There are other granddaughters with
middle names, but I don't think we're going to be getting enough cats to name them all, though.
LOL
