Randoms 'round Here

I have been getting a lot of comments and email asking how I am feeling Health Wise these days. I appreciate the love and concern, really I do. I can honestly say I am feeling really pretty good. I haven't needed the full dose of neurotin (nerve pain meds) for a few days now and I am thinking of stopping taking them all together. I don't care for the way they make me feel and the nerve pain is pretty much gone. I am also falling over a lot less which has made me feel a little more brave and on sunny days I even went for a few walks. I can't wait to be able to drive again! I still have the stutter. I am trying to determine if that is from almost dying or from all the meds, I suppose time will tell...but it hurts my self esteem a little. Silly, but true.

Again, ask your doctor about the shingles vaccine...trust me WORST. PAIN. EVER.

The weather was BEAUTIFUL here for a few days. Yesterday was the beginning of the gloom that will be hanging out for a while. I don't totally mind rainy days, as long as I can stay home in my slippers.

Jordan has been playing a little church basketball lately. The other night she came home from practice and when I asked her how it was she said, "I think I get more awesome everyday!" Nothing wrong with this kid's self efficacy...that's for sure!

I am trying to get more active over at CafeMom they have a new group for ParentingPositiveKids...great discussions going on over there. My user name is MamarazziCFG if you are a member (or join for free) add me as a friend...I would love that.

I have also been busy with Fishful Thinking...want a quick smile? Check out this little video, works for me every time.

My sister in law got shingles and I remember how much it hurt her. She said the same thing as you--get your vaccine! Oy!

My hubby suffered from nerve pain for little over a year and like you, just gave up the meds cold turkey and found more homeopathic remedies that help a little bit more. Here is to praying that each day, gets you that much closer to being yourself again.

By the way if you get a moment, stop by and join in the 2 book giveaway I am hosting today!
