Comments on Teia's Brain or "Fibro" Fog

Ladies, If you're as old as me (51), you can say you "just had a senior moment" or a "brain bubble" the first time you have a fibrofog moment & people will let it go with that. After that, when you have fibrofog, you have to get more creative with your excuses, like "My brother dropped me on my head when I was a baby" or "That car wreck did more damage than I thought it did!" I also have found that I tell the same stories over and over again, using almost identically the same words. In fact,… Continue

Be careful using Twitter, I got "phished"

Immediately I went into Twitter and changed my password, then entered a Tweet that I had been "phished" and had not entered the other Tweet with the health info. Twitter, without asking me any questions, said that "I" had violated their… Continue

My "Optimism" Lesson Last Night

Did anyone see Michael J. Fox's TV show last night on optimism? It blew me away. Facing a not-so-invisible illness, instead of going into seclusion, he goes out publicly to different areas of America, even to different countries, to find out how much optimism there is and where it comes from. Is it genetic? Is it learned? Michael's show proved that there is indeed optimism in the world. One of the most touching moments was when he climbed halfway up a huge mountain in Bhutan and unexpectedly dis… Continue

Update 7-12-09 - Still waiting for disability

My Christian family members came from Georgia to see us, and as usual I was so encouraged to hug each of them and thank them for our prayers.
