I love reading about your Bubba Pool.

We had a member years ago that would start a thread called "Pool Party" or "Party At ...you fill in whatever name or place..." Those threads were a huge hit and nearly everyone got involved.

People would post what they were bringing to the online party.....what they were wearing.....who they'd be bringing with them, etc.....

After a few post you really actually felt like you were there at the party! It was a lot of fun and got our minds off our aches and pains.

Here is one of the old posts getting the party started.......http://neurotalk.psychcentral.com/post1136457-1.html

Kitty,

I remember Pooh's parties quite well. Hopefully, she will soon have another one. OR,

maybe Debi will give us directions to her place for a "pool" party.

I'm sure she would have a crowd.

We could all bring "goodies" for eating. I would bring a nice fruit salad.

Hi Debi,

Hope you and family/friends are enjoying some good old "splash" time at/in the Bubba

Pool. Now you just might be able to have a little "splash" on the side while lounging.

Any chance of seeing some pictures???

I've been meaning to update but you know how that goes.

The pool and deck are done and yes we've been swimming a lot ! Next week the contractor is going to put a sealer on it and we'll be good to go.

I would love for y'all to see it and plan to get with my daughter and see if she can load some pics for y'all when it's finished and decorated.

I'm not able to get in it everyday as I'd like to but try to get in a couple times a week. My bedroom is right beside some of the deck so even when I'm in bed I can hear all the fun they are having in the pool and it makes me happy.

I can't walk much on the bottom as it sets my feet off. I'm able to exercise using a float. And it is very relaxing when I'm just floating around like a bumper car lightly hitting the side of the pool and off I go to another side...lol

Physically and mentally is still hard. I believe my SFN is now spreading. I've always had the deep aching in my arms and legs at times but never the burning on my upper arms as I've read others had. My t-shirt against my arm last night was very painful. The burning has always been confined to my feet.

I just passed the 10th month mark of Bubba's passing. I haven't felt his presence since a week after he passed but I've been feeling him strongly lately. I think I'm suppressing my grief and I know that's not good. I feel a Bubba meltdown coming on and maybe I need it.

I think of everyone on here daily and keep up with the posts every few days.

Not sure if I posted about our family vacation at the end of May but boy was that hard. No Bubba and I left my 2 dogs at home.....that double whammy just about wiped me out. I'll be taking my dogs next year !

I did have good times but it was so different. I'm hoping this '1st' of having a vacation without Bubba will pass next year. Thank goodness my little granddaughter, Charley Ann, stayed in the room with me. We were roommates !

There I go....writing a book again.....and I appreciate anyone who reads this ! Thanks Gerry for remembering me.

Debi,
I love it when you write books; so please please continue. I am glad all of you are enjoying the pool. I can just picture you bumping around from side to side. I am hoping for some pics; that would be great!!!!!!!

Maybe you haven't felt Bubba's presence because he has become part of your life as it is now. He will always be there. Just every now and then a "sudden ping hits to remind you and" that's okay".

Also, love the y'all.......
