Thanks so much for the encouragment. I really, really appreciate it!! I find myself looking forward to cooking supper in the evening even though I am so tired and I think you have just explained to me why. I have always enjoyed cooking and now that I am so limited in what I can do it is something to look forward to each day, something to enjoy and help me feel useful. The problem I have been having is with muscle spasms in my feet after I have stood at the stove for a while - I guess from the Mestinon. So I probably need to sit more when I am preparing dinner when I can. I have considered cutting back on my days at work, I just have not given it serious consideration and talked to them at work about it or figured out the financial end of it.
