ENJOY....let us know how lunch went.....

Keeping up with ASL is brilliant!

I do a few things to create new connections in my brain, brush my hair and teeth with my non-dominant hand, but so far nothing helps when I try to get a word out. Sometimes I get three words stuck together at a time in a word sandwich.

It is hard to go from being high functioning to "crap that's too much trouble, I cannot be bothered." At one point I didn't bathe for two weeks-just tidied myself up a bit with baby wipes.

I so get the excitement of going out! I just got back from assessing a public pool for walking and going to a Greek food store to pick up a meal. Wow, it was wonderful to be out. Now I am going out all by myself to buy a card for my friend. Mundane is marvelous when you have been deprived of it.

I hope your lunch is great.

See this is so true for us.....it hurts to talkand sometimes in be middle of a sentence I just trail off....and wouldn't you know it that's when people want to listen and they burst out laughing.
I try asl but am having a hard time with sentences.....meaning want food I end up trying to sigh the whole sentence..... I am hungery want to eat with me? Etc....or the finger spelling. And:confused: looks so I end out shouting the word in the end.....
But yes it's hard to be talking and the words just don't make sense....:(

Oh Enna, it's frustrating and exhausting not to be able to talk when you need to. I hope it gets better for you.

Sorry spike....kinda going on here....bio sadly no....this is as good as it will get for me. Thanks for you concerns.

Hey! No problem! I had a great time at lunch today. I usually really watch what I eat, since my CRPS reacts poorly to my former diet. I now eat tons of "healthy" food. For me, that was a huge switch.

But.. today, I must be honest. I blew my diet right out of the water. BOOM! GONE.. Good bye, so long diet (for a day). I had the biggest juiciest hamburger with Onion rings and two large Dr. Peppers.

WhoYA! I don't do that often, but it was fun!

Now, it's back to the diet (as he hides a left over candy bar behind a celery stick).

Man isn't that the truth. Sometimes I stammer so badly that my friends just roll their eyes at me.... which I promptly pick up and roll right back at them. I mean, what else can I do?

:grouphug:

Lunch sounded great....I've gone cold turkey from just about everything.
As for what else can we do....dish it. Yeah well, what are we talking about? Lol. I usually forget to get even.....ha ha

You usually forget to get even? WELL now... hmmmmmmmmm!

Yeah, I usually let everything go. Peoples, famdamily walked all over me......
