@stlouisgmajenn yes when l first had encephalitis, then when l was in rehab. I was given a muscle relaxer and l went into cardiac arrest. Then l remember a nurse giving me a form to sign for a dnr. But l was in total consciousness so l.told them to discard that. I don't know if they did and then when l had my foot surgery something happened l think it was with th he anesthesia because my doctor said l had to call your liver doctor because he said l didn't know what to d ok. And l have fallen out so many times. Sometimes my daughter will say it was bad mom. She never tell what was bad but sometimes when l fall out l am conscious and sometimes unconscious. That's why my doctors don't understand what's happening. So now sometimes l will know when am going to fall and when l dont feel right l won't drive or even go out. It take time l guess to know when it will happen. I have had knee, shoulder, back, ankle and foot surgery. I prayer that all.But l was listening yesterday to one of our visiting pastors and he said he had 5 eye surgeries and he can only see shadows but it doesn't stop him so l feel the same way. It's a nuisance but l would say to try to get help. I am getting a wheelchair for only when l need it and getting my doctor to be trained as s a service dog. So there is assistance out there so get as much as you can. Also l have a lifeline.

So you're getting a service dog? Pets are special. I have cats. Couldn't, wouldn't live without them. They love me unconditionally. Even when I step on their tails, by mistake of course. I can be a bit clumsy and they accept that. And I understand about venturing outside. When I feel the least bit wobbly I don't dare drive. Or even go outside to get the mail. I don't dare risk the steps. Just don't. Life used to be so easy. Now I have to think about every body movement, double check myself on stairs. Every ordinary task seems to take soooooo long. And I forget. Forget what I'm doing, where I'm going. Like now. Signing off
