This is wonderful!

Condor, artist and Mark all on a single page. I too have the tendacy to grow sad when we haven't heard from an esteemed friend in a while.

See what you did Stephen, just by popping in? Thank you.

Mike

come out come out where ever you are all you oldies...........

so everyone please check in................................................ ..

claudia checking in here..................................

Ouch! I totally missed that. So much for Mark and artist, too, although in light of the how she was doing when she left, I'm inclined to think she's well enough wherever she is.

I know too that some people drift off, worn down by the cycle of so much fear being ever expressed anew, impatient that the light of magic treatments at the end of the tunnel never seems to be getting any closer.

Then again, as someone whose had this for 9 years, I know that by the time I hit the 4 or 5 year mark, perhaps because of my more regimented use of meds (dosing time released analgesics on a precise schedule) or other treatments, I don't know, the pain became somewhat more managable. That or I adapted to it with the help of [whatever] so I don't mind hanging out here because I'm deep down I've become something of an optimist. To paraphrase Sartre, it's knowing that the choice is ours, whether we go to our ultimate ends - whatever those may be - as slaves (wrapped up in fear and regret) or free men and women, appreciating the moment as it arises: good or bad, no difference. Not that any of us always make the mark - I certainly don't - but just keeping the target in mind is helpful.

Still, where I'm most concerned is for those folks who appeared to be in something of a state of physical free-fall (Mark, Rosie) when last we heard from them. If anyone has information on esrtwhile members who've gone too long accounted for, even if it's not necessarily upbeat, I for one, would appreciate knowing it.

And as far as you other guys are concerned, I'm with Claudia, time to check in. Theresa too.

Hi Claudia,
 

Glad to see you here.
When Vicc passed, I sent out emails to Gigglebabe, Janet, Jose, Marilyn, and others and most popped on. Gigglebabe sends me pictures of her girls often. Jose emailed me awhile back too.

There were a lot of the oldies that I wish would show themselves and say hi.

Claudia, we just took a trip to the mountains girl. I hope things are doing better for you and you are getting your home back in order.

I can't remember all of the oldies by name but Claudia can.

By the way, stick around.

love ya,
Ada

Still here
 

Hi Everyone,
It's been a long time. I know most of you don't know me, but I stop by to read up on what is going on in your lives. CRPS still has a strong grip on me, but I try to keep active. I don't know if Thoracic Outlet Syndrome is just as bad as CRPS or worse. Both of them are painful. We moved in December and trying to help with the piles of boxes has caused a flare that just won't go away. The VA tries to help with the never ending pain, but there isn't anything I can tolerate that does much good. Enough with the whining. Hope all is well with you all.

Hi Condor,

Welcome back! It is nice to see an old-timer. Come jump in sometimes. I'm sure we will benefit from the many years experience you have living with this and yet still getting out there. I hope you are able to get some relief on that flare up soon. It's so darn tempting to overdo sometimes isn't it?

Hello Condor,

Welcome back! Just wanted to stop by and say hello to you. It's always nice to see somebody stop back in from time to time.
