What's New!?

I have been out of the blogesphere for a while now. Anyone still out there? I have been busy, sick, sometimes depressed, sometimes happy - the usual. I've been so tired I feel like I can't get out of bed in the morning. I thought I was just sick. I went to visit my oncologist last week, and they always take blood. Turns out I have hypo thyroid which explains a lot. I'm also enemic. So I guess I have an excuse for being sick and tired all the time, I'm actually sick and tired. I went to visit another doctor, an internist, and they took more blood. Yes, I have a low thyroid. More drugs. Some of the symtoms of low thyroid of which I have all of - tired, vision changes, confusion, panic attacks, mood swings, joint pain, unable to form sentances or have complete thoughts.

I can't even collect my thoughts enough to write an intelligent sentenance. I appologize in advance. We decided on a name for our non-profit. It's called "Community Cares". The purpose is to help those affected by a major medical crisis in their lives, and still have families to take care of while they are getting better. Don't you know people like that and don't know what to do to help? That's where we come in. A neighbor or friend or family member will nominate someone in need. We will then access the needs of the family affected, and offer cooked meals, cleaning services as well as laundry services. When you are going through chemo, or major surgery, or have a debilitating illness, the last thing you want to think about is folding towels. Everyone wants to help, but don't know how. Depending on the situation of the person, their needs will be evaluated every 3 to 6 months, with the understanding that this is only temporary to help them rest and get better. My brother-in-law, Bill Sayegh is helping me get this thing started. What a great help!

I hope you all have a Merry Christmas! My husband got me a banjo for Christmas. What did you get? I told him once I've always wanted to learn how to play, and he goes out and get's me one. I love it! Let me know what you got this year. Also, if you have any good news, post it. I really need some good news.
