I'm BACK and it was wonderful!
 
Hi everyone! I hope this post finds all of you strong and HAPPY!:grouphug:

I just got in last night from upstate NY and it was WONDERFUL!


I spent the entire time with Lilli and Maegin in the piny woods, watching all of the wildlife from the back porch - it was perfect! :D

The weather was perfect - 40's @ night and I would go out on the porch sans sweater and shoes watching my face deflate.......don't know how much I would love it when it gets to the -30's or so,but I now know that 40's-50's aren;t even sweater weather anymore - just perfect for me!

We went to Niagra Falls yesterday - gorgeous!

My aunt and uncle went with me which was a God send,k b/c there was NO WAY I could have done anything without them - they took such good care of me! I was in a wheel chair the whole time but my legs hurt like heck today! Still WELL worth it!:D

It was sooooo hard saying goodbye to Lilli but I promised her I'd be be=ack within the next couple on months!

I MISSED all of you so much!

Love,
Erin:hug:

Hey Erin,

Welcome back. Glad you had a good trip and visit :)

Did you get across the river to see the Canadian side of the falls? The horseshoe is amazing and you actually get a better view of the US falls from the Canadian side. My family was there in March and the falls were all covered in ice and the mist would freeze at night and melt through the day making some really cool crystals on the railings and buildings at the edges of the escarpment.

Cheers,

Brian

So glad to hear that you had a GREAT time. Sounds like the weather is more MG friendly for you. Maybe you should move there and then you would be within a decent driving distance for me to come and visit. :)

Pat 110 09-15-2009 09:39 AM

Erin, I'm so glad you had a wonderful time! Aren't the falls just breathtaking? I'm glad you enjoyed our cooler weather. Too bad you were here just a little early for the fall foliage, but it's still pretty. You are very lucky to have such a wonderful aunt & uncle. I'm sure Lilli is already looking forward to your next visit. Take care.;)

Hugs,
Pat

:hug: Welcome Home :hug: we missed you and I am so glad you had a wonderful time, Having lived in upstate NY I can agree with you as for the beauty and the weather is perfect for those with MG.

erinhermes 09-15-2009 01:43 PM

Hey Rumpled!
 
Hey Jen! How are YOU doing? Your mom? I tried to get my mom to tell my neuo her symptoms when I saw him a few weeks ago but she just made me out to be CRAZY - I could have throttled her!

I tell you that upstate NY is stunning! Can't wait to go back!

Love,
Erin

Hey Joanmarie!
 
Hey honey! I am so glad to BE back! I missed you too!

The weather was perfect! I mean perfect! I could get used to that!:D

What have YOU been up to? Are you feeling stronger?:D

May I ask why you moved from upstate NY? Was it the winter?

Love,
Erin:hug:

Hi Sue!
 
Hey sweetie! How are YOU? Are you feeling better? Seeing Lilli was just the medicine I needed! She was such a blast! By son was waiting for me @ home, though and Mike and I were texting like TEENAGERS! LOL!:D

I have been a BUM all day and am loving it! LOL!:D

I WISH I could have brought some of that gorgeous weather back with me! We'd be soooooo comfy right now!

Can't wait to hear from you!

Love,
Erin:hug:

Hi Pat!
 
Hey hon! How are you? The falls ARE gorgeous! I was blown away! As aoon as I get the energy I'll upload some new photos of them!

You are right - I am so blessed to have such a wonderful aunt and uncle - there is NO way I could have made the trip by myself!

Love,
Erin:hug:

Hi Rezmommy!
 
Hey hon! you know, Mike and I were just talking about that very thing! If we are able to sock away some $$$$, then we will buy a home in Allegany!:D Hopefully the real estate prices will be somewhat the same in a few years! Right now you can get a really neat place for around $30,000! Can you IMAGINE? :)

If we ever DO get a place there, then get ready to be one of our first house guests - I'm not kidding!:D

We could hang out and just talk - it would be a blast!

an't wait to hear from you!


Love,
Erin:hug:

Hi Brian!
 
Hey Brian! I've aleady posted on your other site, but I thought I'd respond here as well!

We weren't able to get to the much prettier Canadian side, but it was still gorgeous!:D

I would LOVE to have that weather here in TX! We are actually thinking about trying to put away some money and purchase a home there for when it gets too hot here! The real estate prices are really low right now, but we have more important things to think about - like remission! LOL!

Can't wait to hear from you!
Love,
Erin:hug:

Erin,
Glad you had a safe and happy trip. Great to have you back on here. Aren't you enjoying the norther we have in Texas this week? It was down to a cool 89 degrees today. LOL! Seriously, good to have you back and hope things go well for you in the coming days!
Hugs,

ConnieS 09-15-2009 10:14 PM

Erin!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've missed u! Am so glad u're back! Glad u loved it and enjoyed urself!

rumpled 09-16-2009 12:49 PM

My mom went to a specialist and even though her eyes are all whopper-jawed, and she had a slight reaction to the mestinon, he is calling it... STROKE... and said she will eventually just get better. Er, she is not getting better.

Now, she has been having strokes as she refuses to give up smoking and drinking and has uncontrolled diabetes - and refuses to test her blood saying she just "knows" when it is high (ha ha no) and eats mostly carbs (mom, you need to eat some protein - I'll eat these crackers - mom, that is not protein - but the box says it has 2g protein!). I swear, it I end up like that I want someone to shoot me! But I digress, I know she has had several strokes, but I still think that her eye thing and her overall weakness is more MG like and is not going to get better. But oh well.

Maxwell'sMom 09-16-2009 03:05 PM

Erin, so glad you enjoyed the Falls. You know, I too wish you could have come in another month, and then you could see our area in it's real beauty. Ofcourse, some winter days can look like something from some magical land. Especially when the snow has thickly covered the branches, and it's a blue sky day. Just breath-taking. I've lived here my whole life, and I never get tired of it.
So glad you had such a nice time...
Love Lizzie:hug:

DesertFlower 09-16-2009 08:41 PM

Hey Erin!:sunchair:

Glad you have a great time. Sounds like you also had some rest and relaxation! Always does a girl good to get that!

Glad you're back
