Dear Laura,
I am so sorry about your relapse, but with time, things may change, and you
will be able to come home to your girls. Hopefully, they will adjust easily
with their father, and he will continue homeschooling them. I will be praying
for you and others who have new problems. I wonder when it will be my time to
go to long term care. At 68, I could be there soon, considering that I feel
weaker every day, and have difficulty in keeping good caregivers. Keep in
touch with our group. Wishing you all the best!
Peachy

now that my dictation software is working properly on a laptop with Internet
action, I can finally let you guys know what's going on.
Sometime in January, I noticed that transfers and rolling around in bed getting
difficult. I didn't pay any attention to it since it is normal for things to
get difficult, that easier, is difficult to get. It seems to mean the end and
flow of people with these kinds of diseases. When I went to see my neurologist
for a follow-up appointment I was able to tell that I have been doing much
better but for this particular day I felt kind of bad. I chalked it up to just
having an off day.
Two days later, I found no longer able to mobilize in bed or transferred to my
chair using transfer board method. Needless to say, when home care came, I was
too difficult to assist so an ambulance was called and was transported to the
hospital on February 12. I've been here since under assessment and it was
decided last week (and also became my own conclusion) that I be placed in
long-term care.
The girls will be going to stay with her dad, which I now think works well,
since my time with them will be a better quality. His apartment is wheelchair
accessible so visiting should not be an issue. My ex also intends on bringing
them to me at regular intervals.
