another difference is i did not go home. they wouldnt release me home, and after reading all of the hospital notes, i know why. they believe, as do i, that my home environment is unhealthy and causes me too much stress. i noticed this immediately when i walked through the door. it felt as though i had been hit over the head. i immediately had bad symptoms. the docs notes revealed observations of how i was both when i was by myself and when my husband was in the room. much added stress while he was there, and very obvious apparently.

so, i am now staying in our rv. it is a nice 25 ft travel trailer with all i need. similiar to a studio apartment. the park i am in has wonderful park attendents who have taken me under their wings. i looked into some independent living places today and i am meeting with a social worker tomorrow.

this recent hospital episode compells me to say.. if you are in a stressful environment, please... get out. it will not change, and will only make you ill. pd is hard enough,. but it is tolerable when you are in a good living environment. put your faith in God. He is listening. and most importantly,,. as a dear friend of mine said.. have faith in yourself ,. and have patience . things will get better.
