How did it go with the new line?

Any problems? Are you ok?

Please let us know..

I am thinking about you!!!

Mountain Girl..

How was your big adventure?

Waiting to hear if you had a good day!!

Please let us know!

HEY!

You talking about my momma?

HA!

I am thankful you are ok.... and glad you checked in.

Once you are feeling better... let us entertain you!

I'll be off line till Friday... so I am glad I don't have to worry TOO much about you!

But know you will be in my thoughts... ok?

Now where is that dang Mountain Dew Girl?

So sorry to delay answering you...it has been a heck of a busy week for me.
Actually, it has been one busy summer!

My first week of school went well, just a bit overwhelming. It has been almost a year now since I have really `been' there. Even though I tried very hard to stay in last term...it didn't go so well after the first week. And the term before that, I really only made it through mid-terms...and come to think of it, the term before that one, was only through mid-terms too...

So, I suppose, I am really fortunate to be feeling well enough now to believe that I can actually get through this time around.

It certainly is a bitter-sweet return though...all of my fellow classmates have graduated and moved on...and I no longer recognize anyone with the exception of the staff and faculty.

But, on the upside...I am remembering where my classes are now!

I am taking nine hours (full-time)...but, have now given up the lofty expectations of making all A's...and am settling now for just making it through on easy classes, and getting the heck out of there! (I still have 4 incompletes to make up as well...but, the sad fact is...I just can't remember what I have already learned...so, it will be much like stating over again)

Such a change for me...but, it is time to get realistic, I suppose.
My cognitive abilities just aren't quite what they use to be. And while it isn't apparent to anyone else, I can certainly tell the difference. I am relying on a tape recorder for memory issues that just haven't resolved as of yet with treatment.

I have also been working VERY hard this summer on a landscape design/ build one hour south of me. So the going back and forth and the hard physical labor have been taking up most of my time. The job isn't quite complete yet...there are still the final touches on irrigation.

But this also is pretty much full-time...and trying to hold up both directions have worn me to the bone.

I return to my LLMD in NC tomorrow for another 4 month follow-up. We will address Bartonella specifically now. I am doing quite well health wise considering all of the output of labor and energy this summer. My symptom list has again dwindled down to very few...so, I am very pleased with my protocol progress!

Please forgive me for being so absent lately...I have missed everyone here!
The love and support is such a blessing, and I have indeed felt a loss...
I so appreciate you checking up on me, my dear...and I keep you always very close in my thoughts and prayers.

Well, Miss Angela!
How absolutely lovely to see you here again...it has been awhile, hasn't it?

It doesn't surprise me one bit that you may have become infected in our great state...our numbers in the Colorado Support System are growing steadily.

I think of you often...and am always praying for the very best for you!
Please stay in touch...and I will try to do my best likewise, OK?

Much love all around,
Melanie

Mel....I can relate to the cognitive problems. I know I couldn't make it in school! So my hat's off to you!

I hope you will do great and finish soon!

Keep in touch!

Good to have you ring my bell! Thanks!

I just emailed you. OK?

Mountain Girl...

Thanks for taking time to update this old worry wort. I miss seeing your smiling face here.. but I do understand.

Good thing you ain't here too much though!

I just used the example of the squirrel falling on your head to help someone else feel a bit better.

I hope it worked! If not.. I MAY have a squirrel on MY head.

If I can do anything to assist you... please let me know.

I see that today (?) you are headed to NC for your appointment with smiley. Hope all goes well.

Let us know when you get back.

Not cause I am checking up on you....

Well.. ok ... a little of that maybe..

But MOSTLY cause we all miss you!!!

Later gator...
