have been having health issues

Hi everyone,

I figured I better give a little explanation about why I have been away since today is a good day for me.

Beginning of march my oldest daughter became sick again after long illness back in September, we though we were over the hurdle. Thankfully she recovered this time quickly as now the doctors are on to her and can fix her quickly when she has recurances.

Unfortunately her getting sick of course causes a great deal of emotional stress on me and and with my current medical disability it affected me quite harshly and I ended up in the hospital. After having another MRI on my head they discovered the blocked artery in my brain that I ahve been dealing with the past 2 years was swelling to a very dangerous level and it being inoperable they had to figure out how to get the swelling down. After having a small shunt like nedle put in to drain the excess blood build up I began with very painful debilitating headaches which have taken my left side from me - At first they figured I had a stroke, which is what they thought the first time I had this happen but they realized it is just how my body has been reacting to the nerves being overly used through the blood being pooling where it shouldnt. Today I actually have use of both my hands and can see colours again but I still have the feeling that someone is srinkling hot chili pepper over my brain.

I was home over the easter long weekend and it felt wonderful to be in my home and with my family and I also celebrated my 44th birthday yesterday - so I know life is good when I made it another year and I look to each day as a new one.

Thank you for your messages asking what happened to me and where the heck I disappeared to and soon I will be back in the throws of driving y'all nuts again. besides fishing season has begun and so has the spring bear hunting can't be letting that get by me again.

Hugs always
Alison aka Ali aka a real southern canadian beaver

You need to take it easy, stress is a real killer. Question, is health care as bad in Canada as people report it is?

Ali, I am sorry to hear about your health issues. My thoughts and prayers are with you. Thank God, you got the use of your hands back! So many times we don't hear that! Take care of yourself. Drink lot's of cold milk. (Natural sedative! Unless you are lactose intolerant.) Get lot's of rest and chase them fish and bears!!!

Glad you are back! Now, don't do that again!
