Sarah,
If my 60-year-old mind can reach that far back, I know how you feel. My
thought was, why would anybody want to go to more school? I was the first in
the family (ever) to graduate from high school. I was never encouraged to do
homework, never praised for good grades (made honor roll 5 times out of 20
by taking my history book home every night to impress the teachers - but
didn’t open it), missed about 6 weeks of school in 6th gr. due to pre-,
during, and post-coma. But I did take to heart what a teacher in high school
told us: If you don’t go to college, at least read one book a year for the
rest of your life. That will continue your education.
I was not given much hope to live with IDDM and the college would have
been wasted - but it wasn’t even considered an option. When I sought a job
through an agency the examiner was upset I would waste my mind by not going
to college. I thought she was funny/odd.

Good luck, Jan,
So it isn’t only here on this list that you are known for your W.o.W
abilities! You must be a powerhouse giving a speech in person.

I’ll bet that above scenario didn’t much help for your permanent picture
record. Will they be able to take another one when no headache and runny
nose??

How did Marius sign up for this list since he cannot access the web??? Anyone
know?

Ok sweetie, Marius, Haven’t been talking much today. Coughing started again
last night and I am on codiene today, so spent most of the day sleeping. I
don’t know what I am going to do to get better. I am so down ad discouraged
about my health. But you make me smile.
Will be praying for you and your mom.

Gail D.,
I wish you would get better…as I am sure you do. You really have been
hammered lately. Enjoy the codiene induced sleep for now! Rest up and GET
BETTER!
HUGS,
Christine

My questions which I need help with are: I recently was diagnosed with a
minute amount of albumin in my urine as a result of a 24 hours test. I was
surprised thinking that this showed up with diabetics with high numbers. I
am now on blood pressure medication to control the kidney albumin. Has
anyone
had this experience and what should I expect?
Welcome to our list Pat.
I was told I had an elevated albumin count also. I was put on a beta blocker
blood pressure pill. My blood pressure has stayed in the healthy range and I
will be retested in Dec. I was told that it is in the reversable stage at
this point. Thank God!

If some new listers want a chuckle, here’s an *old* exchange between Marius and
me.
w.O.w.

Hi everyone!
How are you all? Hope you’re all doing great! Me? Well, I’m very happy at
the moment as yesterday I finished my last exam! Yay! Now I’m free from
school! Just gotta go and find myself a job now! And go to the many
doctor/podatrist/dietician etc appointments that I have lined up! In fact,
I’ve got to be at the poditrist’s in about half and hour so I’d better be
off!
Bye for now,
Sarah.

JAN: Took the challenge. I checked the site and saw 88 are on the list. I
think 80 of them are lurkers. 8^D Some didn’t even tell us if they are male
or female. Profiles are not filled in. 8^(

SHELIA: So far I have not had any trouble with my liver

JAN: Unhuh, is too spelled right! <gr

Only thing is, somebody has to say something to make it a conversation.
