Family Forum / Parenting / Single Parents / June 2004Quick update
Life in Vegas is busy... I am working full-time again. I work for a Property Management Company. For all you Americans that are familiar with Homeowner Associations, I'm the evil girl that sends you the letter that says mow your yard. I'll be a manager by October when my license comes in. This will give me a more flexible schedule so I can finish school. :D! The kidlet is doing fine. School is a challenge, he has struggled this year. Florida education system sucks BAD! They teach cursive in THIRD grade here, so he was an entire year behind in writing AND he's a lefty so it was hard at first. He's catching up and doing well. My hubby is the sound engineer for the new show at the Sahara Casino "Saturday Night Fever". It's the Broadway play staying at the Sahara, just like "Mama Mia" is staying somewhere. I don't go to The Strip much, it just isn't me. I've met a lot of like minded women here and we've become fast friends. We've even started a book club of sorts. This month is The Red Tent by Anita Diamant. I highly recommend it. It's the story of Dinah told from her point of view. Dinah was the son of Jacob, who was the father of the 12 tribes of Israel. Interesting story. Very woman oriented. The Red Tent is the tent the women went to during their monthly. Very very touching book. I'm growing stronger in my own Path and enjoying myself more and more. I'm stronger mentally and emotionally than I've been in years. I like me again. :D! Physically I'm doing okay. I still have migraines, but I'm on medication and it's working for the most part. That's me in a nutshell. I'll try to come out to play more in the future! miss you all! I truly do! love, *bri > Life in Vegas is busy... > I am working full-time again. I work for a Property Management Company. [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > love, > *bri Glad to hear you are great!

They're nothing more than an extension of the police that pits neighbor against neighbor giving each an excuse to not offer friendship and help to someone in need. >The kidlet is doing fine.

[snip] Great to hear from you, Bri, and to hear you're doing so well! Cele It is so good to see you online again. We now have a lot in common. Last November 17 a city bus ran a red light and plowed into my car. I was thrown against the windshield and hit the back of my head against the driver's side window. My Ford Taurus was destroyed and I have horrible migraines and paqrtial seizures about every 5 minutes on the right side of my brain. It feels like a worm wiggles in my right eyebrow! I also have upper back and shoulder pain that hurts all the time and my right jaw has TMD which hurts and pops and is just not aligned properly. I was thinking a lot about you and how you survived your car crash and now I can relate all too well to the slow recovery and how it just alienates you from fast-moving modern society. I just can't keep up likei used to. I take naps and walk my dog and hang out with my girlfriend and read a lot but only a little at a time. I don't watch tv because it hurts my head, all that light and all those colors. I was taking Elavil to prevent the migraines but it made me so sleepy. I'm off everything except Paxil for the depression and feeling great! My son is in foster care and doing fantastic. I also found a great church that is supportive of my spiritual beliefs since my near-death experience, the Unitarian Universalist church. I feel better about myself than I have in a long time. My 30's have been good to me too! I'm glad to hear you so happy and still in school. I plan to use the bus accident money (when I finally get a settlement) to buy a REALLY safe car and togo back to school. Aain, it's good to see you Brianne.

Sorry to hear so many terrible things have happened. My friend has mild seizures on one side of his brain as well...I forget what they gave him, but it seemed to help.Sometimes accidents can trigger fibromyalgia. Walking helps as I have this along with lupus. How old is your son now????? Good luck and prayers your way. V > Hey Lorian. > Sorry to hear so many terrible things have happened. [quoted text clipped - 4 lines] > Good luck and prayers your way. > V Hi Vicky!!! It's great to see you posting again too! My son is 17 already! I see him about once a week and he is so much happier now, I am very proud of him. He and I went through a lot together and he is just great now. How are you and yours?

Four years part time. Hell, I can do it! ::big breath:: V On 17 Jun 2004 21:15:37 -0700, osote@techie.com >> Hey Lorian. >> Sorry to hear so many terrible things have happened.

Wow, seems like yesterday he was a little kid, too. Karen > LORIAN! Where have you been?!! I was hoping you hadn't disappeared off > the face of the usenetearth. You sound terrific. Glad to see you here. [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > > Karen Hey Karen! I DID disappear for a long time. I went to "heaven" after the bus crash and then back in my body, on this polluted earth I have been in so much physical and emotional pain. It's been a long recovery and a lot of hard work to face life apart from my son and apart from my dad and basically forsaking everyone and everything after the accident and building my life over with very few people from before and meeting very few new people and figuring out who I am if I am not a single parent anymore, not able to be a computer technician, and am I going to heal from head injury sufficiently to become a research doctor after all. Also, finding out I am not rich and not married to the love of my life but alone and pretty poor totally sucked. I take a lot of responsibility for the love that I do have in my life and for what life I have left I do all I can to live in the moment and enjoy it, it is not meant for me to suffer. It's good to be back online again. How are you and your daughter? Lorian > Hey Karen! > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > How are you and your daughter? My goodness... am very sorry to hear about the bus crash. Gosh, I hope you will be given a compensation. I hope you heal and get to feeling better soon. Thank goodness you weren't killed. I am so glad to hear that you are alive and are headed in the right way for recuperation. What happens to your son when he turns 18? I have heard of a group in SF that helps 18 year old kids who are leaving foster homes. They help them get started so that they are not faced on the streets. They provide a subsidized apartment, food, clothing, and (I think) job leads or continued education. It helps the kids get through to the independent stage in life. We are doing fine over here. I wish that my kid had more vision and drive for her future but I guess she may more typical, than not. I know I am still trying to figure out what I want to do when I grow up. Where do you see your goals, Lorian? Karen <osote@techie.com> wrote in message > Last November 17 a city bus ran a red light and plowed into my car.

Well on the road to recovery then. >My son is in foster care and doing fantastic. I am glad that you had the courage to resolve this in his best interests. He'll be back! Best wishes, Dennis > <osote@techie.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Best wishes, Dennis Hi Dennis! When I complete my recovery and get the settlement from the city for the bus crash, I'd LOVE to come to England. I'm listening to STING right now, wish I could visit him too, LOL. I want to visit many sacred places around the earth and visit some of the people from this newsgroup who I've come to know and love very much over these years. Single parenthood brought us together and I am so thankful for the technology that did. My son forgives me and loves me more now that we live apart than every before. He is so mature and so much fun when we get together. Life is such a miracle. Lorian > > <osote@techie.com> wrote in message > > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Lorian Lorian: that makes me so happy to know you are feeling blessed. V [snip] Hey, Lorian! I'm glad things are going better for you. It's a bit rough here right now, but gotta stay optimistic, so that's what I'm trying to do. Take care of yourself. Cele |
