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 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?

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......
