Hi Jeffn - I am still around - maybe our posts have crossed. Was quiet for a few days - couldn't really concentrate enough to put together anything worth saying - simply ran out of steam and my brain hurt to think

I had my last session with my psychologist today. She has told me that I should focus on maintaining my current schedule to have better quality time in my current awake time - in other words stop thinking about trying to stay awake all day as all that does is tire me. I just feel so .................dunno......... the words to describe it. She is also anti the "stay awake drug" - provigal - she hadn't heard about it but thought that anything artificial will end up with a crash as the physical self can't maintain the pace. I guess that does make sense but at least it would give me an option.

Work is also not great at the moment as I can't keep up with the new technology - like the registration of the transfer of property ( when land and houses etc is sold) is now computerised and is done by solicitors and no longer goes by paper transactions to the Land Transfer Office - in my short working day I don't have time to keep up with my work load and learn - I am now a very slow learner. I have managed to fob it off to my secretary but should be supervising as I am responsible for the transaction - I keep thinking this is an accidend waiting to happen -

Anyway enough of my moans - I actually don't think that I have had egg nog - some do have it over here - but Christmas is in the summer for us - we tend to have strawberries and barbeques - sparkling wines - though I must admit we (my family - what's left of it! ) tend to stick with the traditional roast turkey, ham and Christmas pudding.

I will be having approx a month off work as our Law firm closes on 21 December and reopens 21 January - kind of compulsery holiday - can't wait, but this year I am going to be smarter and plan my days so that I know what I am doing - or it will be like the weekends with me unable to decide what to do today the entire time!!

I don't think we have heard from Lori for some time

Lori = where are you and are you ok??????

Lynlee

Forgot to tell you about the effect of this - I don't think it actually did anything aside from a stomach ache!! I have been told to wait and see, well I guess I am good at that - that is about the first thing my neurologist told me - she used to talk about while I am waiting to get better - as I have said before - mighty long wait - haven't I waited long enough - surely there is a limit - funny really when we were all at Primary School used to be waiting for the school holidays, then waiting for Christmas, waiting for your next birthday............ never thought about waiting to get better. I am not very good at waiting any more I no longer like waiting nor do I like surprises. No doubt our PCS McGee could add to that!!!

Lynlee

LYNLEE, My simple prayer for you this CHRISTMAS is that you find Peace.

Jeffn.

Good grief do I sound like I need peace???? Thank you for your Christmas prayer - however don't you think that I have enough peace in the hours that I sleep during the day = like my motto is "peace calm relax" Ok ok I am only winding you up! Though I am allowed to stamp my feet and stomp around every now and then!!! An occasional tantrum is good for you - might be a waste of energy but there must be psychological benefits!!

Have a good weekend every body we are off to a wedding 3 hours drive down country - who would want to get married a week before Christmas for goodness sake - so inconsiderate!!!

There you all know that I am grouchy today!!!! By the way the fruit shops are full of fresh strawberries and a client came in with a box of cherries today!

Good night and grumps

Lynlee

Lynlee,
You do have a right to a good moaning session and you are in a rough place, having to be patient and wait! Especially since most things in your life were improved with a little effort and focus and now you only feel worse with too much effort and focus! This is a very tricky, everything in moderation stradegy with PCS! Those that just let things go and spend less time worrying probably are better off here. It's a rough time of year for all souls who are unhappy with parts of their lifes and hopefully January will bring you some relief. I hope and pray for a healthier 2008 for you!!
