Janice,
Not sure what year it is for you ... but my husband and I went to High School
together and always went back when we could for reunions...when our 40th came
up I was 2 yrs. into TM.. I didn't go .... I couldn't face them.. I was tooo
proud.. too vain... I was the captain of the cheerleaders and now I needed an
ugly walker to get around......but I AM still the original "dancing fool"... I
love to party and we always had a fantastic time..I do regret not going to it
!! I have such great friends home! What the hell was I thinking!! I missed so
much! .. My 45th (yes I'm 63 yrs. young) is coming up and I wouldn't miss it.
I've decided to just say "I have a spinal cord injury" and most people will end
it there.. And YES I will get out on that dance floor and my husband will hold
me up and we women will get up and sing New York, New York and we will laugh
and cry over the "good ol'days" And like "ladyOwl" said, we really haven't
changed all that much.. we are very much the person we were way back when...
so here I am..... a great deal older but hopefully a great deal wiser.
Carpe Diem!!!
Trudy

I have another question for you all that want to answer:
I will be having another class reunion shortly and graduating from the
hometown high school, I was usually one of about 15 that
helped to plan it. We had around 500 in our graduating class. Anyway,
I am debating whether or not to be a part of the
planning or even attending the reunion. This is the first reunion since
I got clobbered with TM. I still have to use a cane and
would maybe need my wheelchair. I was fairly well known and I am afraid
I would be answering questions all nite about TM. My question is:
Would you let TM keep you from attending a reunion? Be honest. If
you were faced with this decision this weekend,
what would you do?
