Jennifer,
thanks for updating us all. You are such a strong woman! Hopefully your positive spirit and your being fit and young will help get you through this crisis. Every day science learns new amazing facts about our brain's ability to repair itself in some way or another.
((((BMO)))) from me too. I agree with Lisa - you are such a strong woman, physically and emotionally. Have a wonderful Christmas with your family.
And Merry Christmas to all of you on TD! I survived this last hectic week at school and tomorrow we're off to Vancouver for a few days with my sister's family. I'll be back on Boxing Day (that's the 26th to you 'mericans...) :D
X, am i really the only one that wanted to try your chocolate? :oQuote:

THANK YOU X! THANK YOU X! THANK YOU X! THANK YOU X!
Geez - I just realized I did not thank X for the cinnamon chips! They arrived in the nick 'o time, along with some lovely Wilbur buds, and a small pile of Hershey PA propaganda :D Wilbur buds are yummy, as are the Cinnamon chips.
The cookies I made with the cinnamon chips....not so much. They're OK, but I need to tweak the recipe a bit. They have great potential!
somebody just shoot me! PLEASE!! I have done the %@#$%#@ family $%#$% dance all day long and when I finally solved all the problems DH COMPLAINED.
He tossed a lit grenade in my hand and said "Gotta go, I screwed up, deal with it" and i did. I even went out and bought presents for 4 more people no, 5 more.. because of his ahem, well thought out decision. ARGH!!
the good news... My sister is staying FAR FAR away.
just shoot me!! I HATE HOLIDAYS!
(thank you for listening) now back to your regularly scheduled drift.
Jennifer, (I wrote this hours ago, i guess i never hit "Send")
Take it a step at a time. I like the fact that you can start riding in a week.
that's great!
a narrow artery in your brain huh, too bad they can't stretch it a little (like with a stent) what do i know.
Good luck on the no migraine medicine. But on the other hand more of the other stuff might do the trick.
(((((Jennifer))))) I'm thinking TE gals need to get over there with a tandem so you can get your fix. Anyone?
I am excited. he never said "no". :)Quote:

X-I want medical clearance for you first. ;)
MP-the stroke happened on the right side, so the left sided artery should not have caused the problem. I see him in 4 weeks. I can ask lots of questions I forgot to ask. Congrats on being cleared. :D
KG-another Tder traveling. Safe travels and have a wonderful visit.
Snap-cool bell! Share the cinnamon chip recipe. Mr. Z made the ones on the package-oatmeal cinnamon chip cookies and they were really good.
Oh I am SO glad I was not the only one drawn by the call of Wilbur Buds. :D
(((((Mimi)))))
Trek-Thanks. I am trying the trainer in 1 week. :D
CWR-Welcome Back!!!!
Do you have an acupuncturist? Can you find one? (if the answers are "no", PM me and I'll help you find a couple good ones to try out)Quote:

Trek - I like your idea of a TE tandem. BMo3, I do worry about your balance on a bike starting up again, and if there's a TE'r around with a tandem who can help you assess your balance/refresh your balance on a bike that'd be awesome!
I am sure there is an acupuncturist near me, but whether or not they are any good, I would not know. I have never had it done. I like accupressure. :)Quote:

Jen
if you like accupressure, you'll like acupuncture too. I agree with Knott
do try alternative medicine when drugs aren't helping (or not permitted!)
IT doesn't always help, but it's worth a try. And I have an old "migrane" trick.
put your feet in wet socks. your body will try to warmyour feet and blood
will go there instead of your head. I've never tried it when i had a bad headache because the misery of cold feet is something i didn't welcome.
