Hey Fellow Bloggers!
Just wanted to check in with a little report on my progress. am feeling a bit stronger lately, and the doc says I can skip a month of coming in to see him (Hooray; that’s a great birthday present for me!)
However I do know that its enevitable (sp?) that when I go back it will be to discuss the next level of my treatment plan. Not looking forward to that – different meds, more side effects with possible complications. But all in all — I guess its good that I;m still breathin’ since it could have been a different story if I had not gone to the docs when I did last january.
Still a little bit hard to sit long on the boards, so I’ll try to post more later this week. Hope everyone remembers to read a great favorite book with your little one(s). “That is the REAL quality time to spend with your babies!” Cuddling, snuggling, and hearing our native spoken languages with passion and love…enjoy yours tonite…Talula.

Just in case anyone missed my ugly mug since my last post several months ago; I have been out of commission on doctors orders. I was prescribed complete bed rest for several months, while the docs worked on my bones.
Seems that I had been walking around all of last fall with bones that were so fragile they were about to shatter at any moment. Of course; with all that bed rest 24/7, I lost all my muscle strength and now need to rebuild it. I have spent the last 3 weeks taking a few steps at a time, to build up the balance and muscles. It’s seems slow going to me; but hey – what do I know. I’m the idiot that didn’t know I was ill in the first place.
And as if that wasn’t enough to deal with, I also had a concussion that was bleeding on the outside of my skull! I had hit my head on the top of our truck bed cover while I was loading my equipment after my last book showing just before Thanksgiving. It hurt enough to make my eyes blur and water; but I never thought anymore about it after I got home. I took a lot of aspirin during the next couple of months for the pain in my hips, which in my dumb behavior; resulted in masking the bone problem and also kept the concussion bleeding until mid-February.
Talk about a dumb move! But in my defense, I am a person who has been very healthy most of my life. And since there were no real symptoms but hip pain, I just thought I was simply getting old and slow.
OK, that’s enough crying in my beer! I hope to back on the boards regularly soon.
Have fun out there and remember to read to your children daily!
Love to all,
Talula
