Well, I am in the hospital. They are going to do electric shock therapy on me. The ups and downs have been too much to handle. A little nervous but I am hoping it will all be worth it in the end.

That is true. Follow this link to the videos of 2 of my ECT treatments:

They are both labeled with the date they were performed (10/13/07 and 10/16/07) and broken up into three parts (DS on allows 5 minutes videos) A, B, C in that order. I personally think the videso of the session on 10/16/07 came out better...but that is just me.

Hope they help, let me know if you have ANY questions.

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
