Hi Elaine, you can send a PM to 5 people at a time. Just separate their usernames with a semi-colon in the TO: box. If you copy/paste the text of your PM into Notepad, MS Word, etc., you can copy/paste it back to the forum for a 2nd or 3rd PM if you need to contact more than 5 people.

Hello Elaine!
I hope everything is going well for you. I have been praying for you. As for me we have a big thunderstorm coming called Fay. As I am sure you seen Brain post. I hope it dont get bad. You take care and I will talk to you soon. Bye!

Yes, I enjoy the Dali paintings. They are fascinating/interesting because they are so unusual.

Sorry about the confusion. I am not sure if I am supposed to respond here or to post another message in my own area.

Anyway, Wow! It is incredible that he remembered you! That is great!

Glad to hear things are going good with the surgery. Just try to remember that each new day is moving forward and try not to dwell on the past. It is hard, I know, but it is a goal. Just try to remember the good times with your Mum. It is the best thing.

Glad to hear that your epilepsy is doing better, I will be praying that everything will work out. It is definitely moving in the right direction. Getting back to work will be a good thing also. I know it is one that would help me. I do understand wanting to get out, also, I have the same emotion.

Once again, I am not sure if this is the method that I should take responding or if I am supposed to respond in my own area.

Looking forward to hearing from you, keep me updated and have fun!!!

Sincerely,

TexasTravel (Bo, really)

Elaine,

You are in my prayers for a complete recovery. I understand about the driving issue. Have a good visit with your dad.

lots of love,
Sandy

hello elaine i hope all is well for you. just wanted to stop in and say hi.

Hi All

I am in my second week since my surgery, and I have to say that although I haven't had any seizures as such, I have had quite intense auras, I hate to admit this, but I have always said that I could deal with having epilepsy if it wasn't for my terrifying auras! I am actually in my auras, I see people, I kinda live it, I taste it, smell it, feel it, please tell me if anyone out there knows what I mean by that? I am so fascinated by the human brain, and these auras are quite amazing, they don't follow any pattern, I suppose they can be triggered by stress and worry, but not neccesarily, it doesn't seem to follow any pattern. I get extemes of emotion, but of course my right Hippocampus was in The Limbic System, and of course this part of the brain looks after our emotions, moods, spatial awareness (map reading girls) I am trying to be positive folks, I am working on my University Certificate in Epilepsy Care & Management, I've had it briefly assessed and the feedback was totally positive, I am so pleased, I've spent four years on this course, and I so hope that I can turn it into something positive and worthwhile at the end of it. I do so want to drive again though, I can see my car out on the drive from here, and so many more doors will be open to me if I can get behind the wheel again! I've already been offered a job back in plant hire, but I will have to be mobile as the office is a fair way away from where I live.
I hope you are all ok, thanks again for your wonderful support during my time in hospital, I shall be mentioning this terrific website in my book once I get it typed up and hopefully published.
I'm off down to the coast with my partner in a wee while, to visit my dad, we have my fiancee's 14 year old daughter with us, so i'm trying to be mummyish, not very good at it never having had any of my own, but I'll do my best.
Have great weekend all of you, and I'll get back to you when I come home on Monday.

Hello Elaine,
Reading your thread are you sure that didn't have surgery on her brain or what is up?
I glad you have a since of humor about it.
Hang in there and let me know how things go.
