The post from the Military site is optimistic.

The reserve portion of the pie is very optimistic, actually - I would guesstimate the it is more realistic that any of our reserves is more likely 2/3's less than they portray.....especially you mom's out there.

That would then be more to the degree they are saying "Your energy reserves at this point are almost nonexistent. "

But it is a good article.

Biggest problem for any of us I have found, is getting family members to actually read what is being said, getting past the first few phrases and seeing the whole.

I have gotten to the point that they can believe me or not......I am me now, and this is what they have to deal with, and I am working forward from here as best I can.

I gave them their life as they have gotten used to, and now they will deal with my new me, while I adjust to my new me, and I will give all the fight I can to return to as much new me as I can as, close to my old normal as possible.

Anxiety, Depression, Loss of whatever I lose, Lapses or not, Shrieks in the ears, Insomnia or whatever..........I will move on.
