Yes, that is probably the reason. I'm really sorry to be so objectionable atm. Every single thing gets on my nerves, I have no pain relief at all now and that doesn't help. Plus the worry of "do I have a brain tumour or not?" Even so, I was pretty horrible. I get my CAT scan Thursday and my MRI brain scan on Feb 8. I won't get the results for some time. Tweed |

Tweed ??????? the tech should tell you if they see something. every time I get one done which is every 6 months due to the migraines the tech shows me everything going on but tells me if they do see something that the doctor has to talk to me about it which thankfully was a image ghost when they did the second it was not there |

I can't do much more than watch TV atm as I cannot walk much, but I just love medical programmes, my mother did and I probably got to like them from her. She was in charge of the TV. I can drive to the supermarket, driving is easier than walking for me right now, but when I get there I have to get an electric cart to go round it. It's surprising the difference in people's attitude to this. Some people think you are a perfect nuisance and stand in your way so you cannot get your cart around them, others move so you can get by, but my favourite was a man, member of the public, never seen him before, 2 weeks ago who said "tell me what you want in the whole supermarket and I will get it for you." Now, he has some seriously good karma there ;-) Tweed |

June has been wonderful about taking care of things for you when you've been hospitalized. Is she also someone you can talk to? Even if you don't want to talk about the stuff you're worried about, just chatting in a friendly way might help to distract you for a while. It's very hard to be alone when things like this are happening. -- Joyce God's original plan was to hang out in a garden with some naked vegetarians. -- Seen on a wall poster |

I did get better but how long for I don't know. Six years now, about time for something else in the cancer dept to kick in. Tweed |

Now, he has some seriously good karma there ;-) Tweed - - - - - - - - - - - Do you like to read? I have a Kindle, and I absolutely love it. I held off for a long time because I have always liked the feel of a book in my hands. Well, I got a lighted cover and that gives the feel of a book. It can be balanced on my knees or on a pillow on my lap, so it's easy to use, land the light enables me to read in the dark if I lose power. I can keep any number of books on it instead of carrying a stack of books around with me. One problem with printed books in recent years is that publishers often print right up to the margin binding, so we almost have to bend some books in half to read. That's not a problem with Kindle. Finally, I love the fact that I can change the size of the font--just like with a computer--so I don't have to use reading glasses. There are *lots* of free books available from amazon, in addition to the ones that are purchased. The classics and books that are out of copyright are often free. Anyway, I thought this might interest you if you are tired of TV and would find it difficult to get to a library. MaryL |
