Barbara,

I don't know where in Scandinavia you were (in Island?), but in Finland we had +30°C in the shadow all our six weeks of holidays, and it continued still after!
The water in the enormous lake Saimaa was so so down that we had it hard to believe, and it has gone more and more down since......

I have been thinking about many of you here, but once you start to post here again, you can't be without posting any more and lurking, it takes time...... and for the TOS:ers it's not the top of the top to be in the front of their screens.......
So, I needed to take a break.........
I still continue also my cat shelter volunteering as well, and have been posting on cat Forum, because another girl was on holiday, thank God she is back today!

I have been away also because I think I know enough, and don't necessary want to know more about TOS than I already know.... I know the surgery is not my choice for the moment, who ever knows if it will be at one day. Not only TOS-surgery, but even any kind of surgery, unless really really necessary is to be banned after my neurologist..... I'm not even up to date to my vaccins.... Yes, I know it sounds quite crazy, but is my choice for the momen, and my neurologist do understand and agree.
I try to live as normally as I can, and I know I can do much more things that many out of here....... TOS comes on every doses. My luckiness was that I only had 3 horribles years, not more.....
I continue to create some word games, and in the same time I try to find a normal job, but it isn't easy at my age, and after such a "different" job.
Let's see......

healing hugs to all of you!
