I'm not grateful for this but they upheld my license suspension. I guess it's time to go to court, which I will have to pay for. Curious what that will cost, plenty I'm sure.

@jakedduck1 Sorry. Leonard. If you can drive without it endangering yourself or anyone else, I hope you win. I understand where you are coming from because many people with HE have their licenses suspended. I was always fearful of that but it never did happen. I think some states make doctors automatically report it whereas others must let the doctor use their own discretion. I always had a forewarning before an HE episode, or woke up with it. Either way, I would never have been driving with one. Most of the time I was perfectly cognizant.

@jakeduck1
Sorry to hear this Leonard as this will have such an impact on your lifestyle. I hope you are successful in court.

@jakedduck1 I was going to ask how you’re doing, but your posting says it all. Bad luck.

@jakedduck1 I'm just getting on here and saw where you still didn't get you license back sorry to hear this good luck in court

Grateful for a couple of warmer, sunny days. As always, grateful for my habitat, food to eat and the time to turn newspapers into whimsical items and not bothering to read the words. A twist on how to turn the news into something positive. Yes, I am chuckling.

@parus I love your way of turning the news into something positive! Maybe you could send a picture. Please? Need a laugh or something today—we have 16” of snow and it’s still coming down!

@Becky, Volunteer Mentor, we here in North Alabama rarely get snow. If it does snow, it rarely sticks. We feel lucky if there is enough to make snowballs or a tiny snowman. So we'll take that snow and give y'all some fairly warm, sunny days in exchange.

The weather here has been beautiful lately. A little bit of rain, gray skies. But that just gives us a chance to stay indoors and read that book we have been ignoring for six months.

I am thankful for family, friends, faith, hope, and love. For all the wonderful people here. For life itself.

I want to wish everyone a Happy Thanksgiving.

@becsbuddy Will try to do so in the not too distant future. It is a process that requires patience-for the creations to dry so I can paint them!!! Breathing life into things with a paintbrush. Hard to get into the Holidays with all of the trips to medical appointments. It is wearing me out!!!

@parus , @gingerw, @merpreb, and all of you! My eyes are a tad foggy and carpal tunnel makes me want to stop messaging right away. But I have good news. My optic nerves are just fine. What I do have is cataracts. My surgery is scheduled for 12/28. My eyes were so dry when they tested me, I have to complete a regimen of eye drops before I can be retested. They do measurements which must be precise, in preparation for surgery.

I never thought I would be grateful for cataracts. But there are so many things that can go wrong with the optic nerves. Needless to say, I have really tightened up on my gluten free, low carb way of eating. I don't want to take anymore chances with the gift of sight. I got along with the doctor just fine. I had met a precious lady who had been dismissed by this particular opthamologist. I was a bit anxious after hearing her story.

But I just decided to go into the appointment with an open mind. I treated him like I always do when meeting a new physician. Respect and honoring their time goes a long way.

Happy Thanksgiving, everyone. Enjoy whatever treats you make or someone else makes for you. Who else watches the Thanksgiving Day Parade?

Love and light,
