Hi all of you. I was just wanting to say thank you to all of you. Before finding this site I was reconciled to non recovery - as I was told this is as good as it gets. I now think there is a lot more hope. You have no idea what it is like to know that there are others the same. Having PCS is very lonely even when you are surrounded by other people as that sends you into a fog with the noise. I think that I must be having one of my emotional moments - what a girl!!!

Anyway -thank you!!!!! Does anybody have any ideas on coping with Xmas??

Lynlee

To Lynlee, Yes do some volunteer work, visit someone in the Hospital, make some cookies for someone you don't know, and be Thankful for what you do have.

Enjoy Life Jeffn

Lynlee, thank you so very much for being o this board! I have learned so much from you and everybody else here. You are a fighter and you continue to seek answers for this PCS. My biggest wish for you is that you find a cure. I'm the same age as you and I hope that we both will have a good quality, long live. I am still optimistic that I will get better soon. As far as Chistmas goes - like Jeff says - baby steps, or just taking it one day at a time.

Jeff, you are such an inspiration, always optimistic - thanks a million! Sometimes I get mad at the person who caused my accident, but I know that only hurts me, so I try to be forgiving and knowing that he is in prison makes it easier too.

Sorry about your laptop being stolen, don't know why these things have to happen to good people!

And thank YOU for being so thoughtful in your replies to this newbie to PCS. I've shared your posts to me with family and friends and they are so happy that there are people out there that understand what I'm living with right now.

And I meant the 'right now' because like all of you, I do hope that this is not permanent.

Y'all are really great and I can't tell you how comforting this place is.

Lots of 'special' eggnog. tee hee.

Hi RisibleGirl, about that special eggnog - I don't want to spoil your party, but did you know that alcohol is very bad for PCS? I read somewhere (and some of the people on this forum have found this out firsthand) that it can worsen the symtoms, so I am staying away from it and try to have a good time anyway.
