I have actually had a lot of help. In the beginning I spent almost three months in bed and people organized, cooked and sent over every meal for me and my family. The school held a fundraiser for me last winter.

At Christmas I received a 4 huge boxes of food from my insurance broker and another Christmas hamper from the school.

Someone gave me a time share in April to Daytona and some else bought me a plane ticket. It was so nice to get away from everything. People do not realize you need a break from being sick and to look at four different walls or the ocean.

I really don't get out and now that I don't work I really do not have a circle of people I see. I honestly think people think I have recovered. You must admit it is rather unusual for some one to be suffering from pcs for a 16 months.

I am at least starting to feel a little better which helps greatly. I will start looking into alternatives. One step at a time.....

Thanks for your support it is really a great feeling to know other people understand.
