HI,
I just got a new keyboard, ooo, is it smooth. I knew my old one was sticking but this is something. I just came in to check in and read the thread...Guys can I copy what you said? Does it help that I feel like that too? I felt like that a month ago. Husband said, when you are like this, I get worried, go take a long walk...I walked for five hours. I so desperately wanted, thought if I kept walking I would, to feel better, you know the old exercise increase your endo mormines. The only reason I came home is my feet hurt so bad. Slowly, the mood shifted, my son, the word list guy, encouraged me to soak my feet. The next day, he was in the room when I called pdoc for appt. He said, yeah she took a long walk off a short pier...then I could laugh. When I was walking, I wouldn't have. I was one of those people muttering and waving their arms and swearing. It was good I was on deserted country roads. I still get upset when we drive by the way I walked. What is it with these brains of ours anyway. Lets tell them OFFF! Brain, where do you get off switching moods on me and wrecking my confidence.
Any one there? I would chat til 9 or so.

The only physical problem I have is near-sightedness. I've been ready to go into the hospital this last week for the first time since I can remember. Just got a horrible guilt trip from hubby. I don't even care. I just need to be left alone for awhile so I can get myself together...
