Ok. Let's have an imaginary cyber Christmas.
What would you be doing for Christmas if you were well and had the funds to do whatever you would like?
I am trapped in my body today and need to escape. How about you?

HUGE christmas tree I could decorate with my kids. I wouldn't have to worry about all the ornaments breaking because I could hold onto them long enough to get from the box to the tree! (no neropathy)
I would make a 7 course meal all by myself without burning anything (no brain fog)or throwing anything (no being overwhelmed and stressed)
I could eat dessert pastries, chocolate santas, ice cream, CHEESECAKE!! (no worry of yeasties)
there would be TONS of gifts for the kids under the tree. they would sleep in their own private bedroom, they would have their mom sleeping in her own room accross the hall (they would be living with me where they belong being cared for by their loving mom who is 100% on the ball)
all my friends and family would be celebrating with me. (not afraid to hug me because they know it hurts to touch me)
and since I have the funds to do anything I want, I would be santa to all the lymenet families
miracles. OH how I wish

I'd be decorating my new house.
My husband, children and myself would be "free" from Lyme.
Not worrying about money sounds good to me.
I'd hire a company in Baton Rouge who makes snow, to come and fill the yard
Around my new house with snow.
The kids and I would play until it all melted (which probably wouldn't take long here,)
A newer "used" car would be nice too.
I'd help my Mom out financially so that she didn't have to worry
About looking for a job at age 64.
Hugs,
Geneal

I would be well enough to travel again and I would fill up my truck with goodies and go visit all of the people I haven't seen in years, in all of the places I haven't seen in years, roaming from state to state and and handing out presents and love.
I would go to every city and look at the Christmas windows in department stores, and smile at the kids marveling at the windows and remember what it felt like to be one of them.
Then I think I would make up doggie Christmas treat bags and head to some shelter or greyhound rescue and take the dogs for walks and give them treats and hang out with them for awhile (not being allergic to them any more!).

I have been getting pieces of the puzzle of what I would like to do for Christmas if able.
Yosemite comes to mind.
Decorating a live Christmas Tree comes to mind.
Getting out my Christmas Decorations and putting them up and being able to put them back before the new year.
Gift giving comes to mind...but not just superficial gifts....but gifts that would really make a difference for people.
Still dreaming of traveling...need a reliable vehicle for this....one that I can pull a trailer with...need a camper..ha.
Being in the snow.
Down hill or cross country skiing comes to mind along with sitting by a fire and having something warm to drink.
Not sure where I would like to be for this.
Traveling by train in the snow to that hotel I heard about years ago which I can't recall where it is now.

I'd be cooking a lot of food. I'd be cleaning the house getting ready to put up the tree. Having a good time decorating the tree. Going shopping without any problems.
And not worrying about money.
