This is my 3 year anniversary -- and I didn't even remember it until about
2:00 this afternoon when I fell up the stairs bringing groceries in. :) Not
that I didn't think about having TM today until that time -- can't quite get
away from that thought -- but I forgot this was "the day". I'm really kind of
glad that it almost passed unnoticed, as the first year I faced my
"anniversary" with some trepidation, thinking it would be a down kind of day.
When my neurologist originally told me I would probably improve to a certain
degree, and whatever symptoms I had remaining I'd get used to, I thought, "Uh-
uh, no way, this is not acceptable." But to a degree, with God's help, I have.
And on those "down days", He helps still. I, too, am so very thankful for all
of your and your support and helpfulness. I found this list about five months
after diagnosis and it has been a BIG help!!
