Hello to you all - update
« on: March 03, 2010, 12:53:03 PM »
Hi peeps, sorry havent been on here posting for a while, but I have been viewing the posts.

Just to update you a bit, I am still ok, but have been having some trouble with my right side of the body in that I have pins and needles and loss of sentation down the right side of the body including the leg.  I have had two major drop attacks recently, and got a phone call from my NS who wants to have another MRI scan.  Within 2 weeks I was booked in for next friday in Cornwall hospital, so am looking forward to that.

I have been kept busy trying to exercise since january and trying to lose weight and at the moment have lost a stone.  I am generally very tired at the end of the day, which I think is normal after everything we have gone through.

I have been in contact with Rachel over the last few months, who is progressing reasonably well, but having some problems a bit.  She doesnt want to come on to state her woes, but does look in on ocassions.

I am interested in helping to organise a gathering with Marina, although I know that she is due to go into surgery next week.  Are there still people interested?

Hi sarah, Im sorry that you are feeling so bad at the mo! I had thought that you had been quiet... I hope your MRI goes ok.

I think we are all still interested and i know that marina will meet up if her recovery allows it, so obviously we will have to think of times of year as i know there are quite a few peeps with ops coming up! Let me know if you need to chat too! xxxx

Oh Sarah! I don't know how I managed to miss this post.
I am so sorry you are not feeling too well at the moment, with all the nasty symptoms that we get from this condition I think the drop attacks are one of the worst, because most of the time there is no warning.

By the time you read this I hope you are feeling much better, my lovely.

Same thoughts as Laura, if you need a shoulder, you know where I am.

Hugs, Marina XXX

Ah thank you for all your concerns, thats sweet of you.

I had the MRI scan on Friday, and it all went ok, but I wont know the results yet for a while.  I will let you know when I do.

Got an appointment with Rachel tomorrow, theyhave come down here for a holiday and we are having a takeaway tomorrow.  I will let her know you are all thinking of her.

Cheers
