Fed Up!

Wed, 12/22/2004 - 14:14

I have reached the end of my rope. These seizures are wrecking my life. Doctors have no answers. I am afraid to leave my home on my own. I have been informed by the Dean at my college that the only way I may return for Spring semester is if I have an aide with me at all times. This stinks. At 37 I am too old for a baby sitter. Anyone else facing similar issues?

I have one thing to say to you. Live your life day to day and just simply hope for the best.  There is a famous saying and it goes like this, "One cannot change what happened yesterday, one has no idea what should happen tommorrow, so simply live your life day to day and hope for the best."  It is a very simple way of looking at life, but in all reallity, it is the truth.

Thanks for the encouragement. Sometimes I need to be reminded that things could be worse. And sometimes reminded that things are only as bad as I allow them become in my mind.

Happy holidays everyone!
