I just want to let you all know I have to unsubscribe for awhile. I have left
GA and will be working my way to Vancouver WA. I am going to be without
internet from time to time. And when I do get a chance to get online, I
probably won't have much time.
But I need to tell you all how very much this group has meant to me, and the
support I have gotten over the last OH MY GOODNESS 9 YEARS TO BE EXACT. I
just realize the symptoms started the very end of June and I was in TX at the
time on a family vacation. Because we couldn't figure out what was wrong with
me and why I kept becoming more and more numb, we headed back to GA. We got on
late on the 3rd of July. Obviously I had the slow onset TM. I spent most of
the 4th in the ER. Being told things like, well you haven't had a stroke, and
you don't have a brain tumor, but we don't know what is wrong with you. You
need to see a Neuro. ASAP!! I won't get into what a difficult time that was,
because so many of us have been through it.
But here it is exactly 9 years later and I am so very much better and moving on
with my life and trying to get back to the career I had, before I had kids.
I am going back to the Airline Training School, I went to in 1983. I am ready
to go back into the travel and tourism industries. I had a great career, and
now I just need current training to get back into it.
So I just wanted to say so long to you my dear and wonderful friends that I
will miss very much reading everyday what is going on with you!
Dearest Jim Lubin, thank you, thank you, thank you, for starting this for all
of us. 9 years ago it was so hard to find out anything about Transverse
Myelitis. The only reason I found you was because I had a brother in medical
school at the time and he found Dr. Kerr, and what Hopkins was doing and that
led me to TMA.
Those of you that I am close with know who you are!! Because I don't post to
the list that much just to the person. I don't really know why I do it that
way, but that is what I do.
Dear miss Kim Harrison, no more protest about me leaving, I will miss seeing
you and you still have my sweater, so I have to come back to GA to get it!!!
Got it girl??? I love you!!
Jude, I care so very much about you and I am so happy you are doing better!
Please keep in touch when you have time!!
There are so many of you I want to say something to, but I just can't this is
harder than I thought it would be!!
The last person I have to say something about is Pam, she was such a wonderful
friend. I miss getting jokes from her and sending jokes to her!! I miss you
so very much!! You are so right TIAD!!! I am for the first time in 45 years
going to do what is best for me and not live to please others!!
I love you all and will miss you very much and after I get settled and if I am
not over whelmed with being a 45 year old in school 7 hours a day 5 days a
week, I will get back on the list again! Jenna
P.S. Any of you that might live near Vancouver, WA or Portland, OR let me
know. I would love to meet you while I am out in the great northwest!!
