My son phoned me and said someone from this list send Him a card..and it had some puzzles in it...He seemed very excited about getting this.. and said to tell the one who sent it ..thank You..
( He couldnt remember the name of the person who sent it LOL so i am writting it here..so You ..who ever You are .. lol..knows He really loved the it and thanks you very much.. it made both
our days!!
He also Passed his GED. i am so proud of the work He had to do ..to get this..He has a learning disablity ..so the work on this was extra hard.......but His plans are to turn his life completely around and that is just one of the many hurdles He will have to get over.....
My husband had surgery again.. He is home and doing fairly good . He started physical therphy
on Friday...Hopefully to build up some musle .He is doing well with his walker.. He is learning how to walk with a cane... that is something that is harder than it looks..lol
As for me.. My surgery i had back in May on my heart..i guess wasnt successful ... and the Heart
arrhythmia , has returned.. The Dr says its because i stress my heart out all the time and its not liking it lol so i have been working in therphy on coping skills.. trying to learn ways to deal with all the stress i have in my life...( and i have a heaping amount) with out letting it effect me.
The Dr there (shink) put me on zoloft.. but then ..took me off of it yesterday..after He took my blood pressure..it was very high.. .He said ..i needed to go to my family Dr. and find out what was going on before He would give me any more meds.. i tryed to explain that it wasnt the meds that were causing it....its was just something that happens when my heart was beating to quickly....but....He said He wouldnt take any chances and needed a OK from my family Dr.
sigh.!! BUT He did say..it wasnt anxiety, that was causing the raised BP..because it was the bottom number that was extremely high...( i have never heard this before ..)

Glad to hear from you. Sorry to hear your surgery wasn't successful but, at least hubby's seems to be doing better. I think the therapy for coping skills for you is a good idea. Learning ways to channel things is good. I know it helped my son with his emotional disorder. I know I haven't been doing the writings to our penpal list. I've written to 1 or 2 but, have a hard time finding time to write. I write to my son, of course and have picked up 2 of his friends at Kinross. They've asked my son to ask me if I'd write them. I know with the MDOC, you can make copies of things from the newspaper and print things off the internet and send it to the inmates so, I'll try and do that for Tim when I get the chance. I know that you can also send them a subscription from magazines and puzzle book places. I sent Jason a subscription from Dell puzzle books for his Christmas gift one year. You can do it on line. I always remember Jason saying that getting mail was the highlight of his day. Take care of yourself and as always, you and your family are in my prayers.
