Update

Hey everyone, I know I haven't been on in a long time besides answering a question here and there. I haven't been doing to well or haven't felt to well to do anything. I have had so many test over the past few months and still no clear answer to what is causing all the issues. I don't quite understand myself. Though most of the problems I have had can contribute to Chiari, others don't fit. I don't know anymore. It is driving me crazy. Now I cant even seem to do my arts and crafts for more than a day anymore. I hope to get it together soon. Who knows.

I do have an appointment with Dr. H in Baltimore, so I am glad something was able to give in order for me to get in earlier then planned. Maybe he can give more insight into what is actually going on. Instead of these small town doctors saying it is nothing. I am tired of having no answers. I have decided to go for surgery. I think it I time to set the concerns on the back burner and take my health back. Though it has been recommended in the past I didn't take it to heart. The sooner the better I guess. So I don't start second guessing myself. I have a great support system so when I do get out of all of this I wont have to do anything but relax and heal. So that is great. I cant wait to have my health again. Though I will never ever beat this all together. I just hope that I will get some relief from it all.

Other than this, I have been trying to enjoy life as much as I can. Enjoying the peaceful days I do get every once and awhile. I have been enjoying my horse's company once again. Though he doesn't quite understand that we can no longer jump or run at a fast pace he does enjoy our daily rides out and spending time with each other. That is all I could ask for.

You are a sweet person Elisa. How was your Easter? Mine was good. Symptom free for what seems like a very long time. We had an Easter Egg hunt for nieces and nephews, then we had one for the dogs. They enjoyed chasing after the kids and finding there own little eggs that had goodies for them and only them. I had to get a couple of giant eggs to hide there toys but it was funny watching them trying there best to bring back to me so I could up it up for them. I love them my world is based around them. So I am glad I have my babies

You will remain in my thoughts and in my prayers. Love your animals and know that loving them brings you closer to God. I am reminded of a quote that I read a while ago. "Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened." Your soul is fully awake.

Thank you Elisa for your kind words. My animals are the only ones who get me. It seems like everything I have is slipping away. I wish my family was here to help me get through all of this. I go see a nuero on the 15, some one that Dr. H works with but much closer to me until I go see him in May.

I hope you are doing well on your journey of recovering. I keep you guys in my prayers as well. Thank you for the support. I really need it.

I wanted do say hello and reconnect with you. I so enjoy reading about animals and their devotion and therapeutic effects on those who love them. What happy news that you are able to ride and spend time with your beloved horse. I am always in the company of my 3 babies and my son and I walk a dog who lives next door to us.

I hope that you can find some relief so you can resume your crafts. I know how fulfilling it can be to make something beautiful with your own hands. I will pray that your hands get stronger so that you can enjoy your creations. Take care of yourself.

I will. Yeah animals do give unconditional love. I love all my babies. But my puppies are the ones that stay with me all the time. I will keep you posted as I continue my journey to DR. H.

Thank you Selma. You are welcome for the update. I was working on a hand stitch quilt, when all of a sudden everything went numb. I couldn't bearly even move my hands, I then decided to try therapy for my hands. I beginning to be able to use them again. Though they do go numb every once and a while. I must then take a break. I cant wait to do them again. It is fun riding again. Its beginning to get warmer so it will be pleasant to be able to go for longer rides with him.

Thank you for your concern, and I hope Dr. H comes through as well.
