Dear Jacenta,
How wonderful of you to say so. I used to be all natural; I breast fed both babies, used cloth diapers, ground up their own baby food, I kept a diary of exactly how much I ate while pregnant and counted the protein grams. We took Bradley birthing classes, which was natural deep breathing, imaging, and non-medicated births and home births. I didn't take aspirin. I drank pregnancy tea. This is 1980! Before that I ate a salad every day, went to Weight Watchers when I hit 115 because my weight had always been 105. I got back to that weight once after my son (the 2nd) was born. I've been chasing that illusive bird ever since. Parkinson's zaps my energy along with no thyroid, so I crave sweets and salty foods (ones I can still taste) and exercise is tiring; it uses up what leva-dopa I have, but if I don't exercise my muscle, it's use 'em or lose 'em. That's where I am. Thanks for coming by!

I'm sorry, Cee. There are so many people who are in need of help with their medical problems and needs. It makes us wonder if we even want to go on sometimes.
I didn't mean to be hard on you. Sometimes I speak hard and don't mean it. My heart goes out to you, dear lady. I'm glad I found you and became your friend.

I wish I DID know that...
Jay would have taken care of it if he could. He doesn't always have the money. As it turned out, I got all my meds at no charge! There's that donut hole coming, I know. Then I'll have to pay. Jay also has our daughter's medical care to worry about. (TWO of us........) You DO have me beat. They never put US on the news, do they? I don't think either one of knew how bad my disease has progressed because I have kept up with my meds very religiously. I didn't know for sure how dependent I was on medication. I had said to Jay that I knew I was getting worse because I could feel it trying and trying to take me over. It's an insideous monster, it is.
Thanks, Maggie!

Wow, Cee.....
how could you let that happen to yourself? Didn't you know Jay would have taken care of you? I guess you learned a very hard lesson, didn't you?
Well, now you know. I know I could not let my meds run out, not on a bet. Not to outdo you, but my drugs are over $10,000 a month. Those include my infusions every other week to the tune of $4,000 each.
It's a wonder we even wanta live, isn't it? But, when it comes right down to it, we do, at any cost.
God bless you, Dear Cee, and keep an eye on your meds.
