Conversation Between ashmstng and Elaine H

Happy belated Birthday! I hope everything is going well with you. Just wanted to pop up and say hi.

Hi Hun

So sorry for not getting back to you sooner, I am completely useless on Facebook! I just think that there is always something else to do but sit at a computer!! Don't get me wrong, I love to hear from you, but I was brought up to be out there doing stuff, not sat in front of the tv, or being indoors full stop!

I so hope you are ok when you get this? I haven't had a "wobbler" for weeks now, and I am a different person, all the better for the op, and the wonderful Trileptal which seems to have completely stopped my auras thank God!!! The worst part of my epilepsy!!!

I will keep in touch I promise, I would love to hear how you are doing my friend? I am trying so hard to find a job before I go completely bonkers sat at home day and night some folks might enjoy it, but I want new challenges, new beginnings, new direction, I'e had the op, got sorted, and I am simply bursting to get up and at 'em!!!!

Hope to hear from you soon mate, hope all is well, and just think, it is nearly Springtime!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WAYHEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for the message about my hair. I can say I sure feel better about it. I didnt know how I was going to feel with my hair shaved off. I sure did freak out and didnt look at myself for days. But finally I made it this far that I am so happy. It sure was worth shaving it off. It made a big change in my life. I am now waiting for my drs. to send a letter saying it is ok to get my license and I am going to go take the drivings class and get my permit. Yippeee. Depending on when I get that letter and take the classes. I plan to sign up for school. I am thinking to do Medical assistant, or X-ray technician. I will keep you posted on how everything goes. Take care of yourself.

Hi Ash

Brain surgery hair is cool, I think it could catch on!?! My one concern throughout both my ops, was that they would shave off only half my bloody hair!! Anyone who remembers the punk era will know how I felt!! I bought a selection of hairbands, and while my hair was growing back, and because I can't bear my ears to show, I wore them, I had a wicked leopard print one, it was almost a shame to stop wearing them when my hair had grown back, I've kept them all in case I'm back there again, I so hope not!! All the best Ash, you look lovely mate!!

Cheers

Hello Elaine~
I hope everything is going ok with the new medicine Trileptal. Just wanted to send you a message and see how you are doing. I want to "thank you" for everything you have done for me when I needed the support on the board. If you ever need anything, I am here. Take care.

Hello Elaine~
I wanted to stop by and say Hi to see how your day is going. I hope that new medicine Trileptal works for you. I am sorry for all of the auras and feelings you have. I hope in some way things get better for you. Take care and I will talk to you soon. Bye

Hello Elaine!

Thank you so much for the message. I hope everything gets better for you. Whatever you can do to get you mind off the negative things do it. I know it is so hard to do. But being down & out isnt going to help you. It sure never helped me. You have to be stronger than those bad moments and tell yourself. I am very sorry to hear that you had to cancel alot of important things that you were looking forward to. You really deserve those trips. I can say I understand that situation. Thats why I have been going to beach to get away from home. Walking to beach and listening to the waves is a relaxing thing. It gets my mind off other things and as I am there, I get my exercise walking the beach.

I just wanted to say dont let all of this make you feel so down and out with so much greatness you have or had in life. Especailly things to come. Things get better as long as you make it that way. You have so many people that care about you and if you ever need anyone to talk to you know where to find me. Take care of yourself and stay strong. Keep your head up high.

Hi Ash
You are amazing, I thank you so much for your continued support! I hope this wee note finds you well? I've turned a negative start to the day into something positive, and I've spent the day updating and tarting up my CV to send out to prospective employers, I just spoke to my dad too, he is just back from 5 weeks in Canada, he loved it over there, I think they were in Toronto, his partner is Canadian, and I wouldn't be surprised if they ended up living over there, wow, we would so love to visit them! I have family in Edmonton, Alberta, and have always wanted to go and see them, who knows!

I hope you are ok mate, I am trying to keep positive with help from you guys on CWE, what an amazing website eh? If I feel a wee bit low or miserable, I can guarantee a good positive response from everyone on here.

I'm going to e.mail my specialist tonight, it's not good to be feeling low is it? I didn't have any problems at all after my first brain surgery, not even an aura for 5 long wonderful years! So I suppose it's understandable that I'm feeling a bit low this time, I never even had an aura for five years the first time.

Anyway, I will keep smiling!! I have the awesome task of preparing tea now, oh lucky me eh? I hate cooking!! Keep in touch eh and write again soon? I'm on my own all day tomorrow mate!
