Well it's approx. one year since I tentatively made my return to the group
with wires sticking out of my hand, extremely compromised Short Term Memory.
On warfarin less than two months after nearly dying twice (fully conscious
the 2nd time and boy was that a blast!).

I don't think my memory is as bad as was thought, now, but that rather it's
the opiates - specifically the codeine; I'm really seeing the differences
between codeine and dihydrocodeine, where once I thought they were so
similar you could hardly tell them apart. The latter is the stronger
painkiller while the codeine makes me drowsy. I'm trying to cut back as I
don't want to keep nodding off. In the process I think I'm sharpening up.
Mind you it is very tempting to keep taking them for the good night's sleep
they enable, after a lifetime of disturbed sleep. But I'd rather be *me*, no
matter what else.

Anyway, while walking to the shops yesterday, I was thinking the support I
got - and get - here, meant a lot. You could probably say it accounted for a
significant part of my recovery. So thanks, guys. Particularly, but not
limited to, Joanie and Figgs (but wth, all the girls love me and I love all
the girls! ;-) Except Tracker, of course. She just makes me shiver).

A Merry Christmas to all!

Good to read your face, Shane!~ I hope your recovery continues to
advance. Really glad you had an opportunity to drop by at holiday
time..........it gives me a chance to wish you and everyone in the Me NG, a
very Merry Christmas and a joyous, prosperous, healthy New Year. (just to
remain PC, if any of you don't believe in Christmas, simply ignore this
post...this should be a time of understanding and goodwill, regardless of
one's beliefs)
Heirloom, old and the best to
everyone!!

Well said, Loon. PC is not in my song book, so Merry Christmas and a
very good New Year to all on this ng.

Can't believe it has been a year since poor Shane was trussed up like
the turkey though (G).

I didn't realise it was that long, my how time flies when you're having
fun g

So glad you are on the mend though Shane, I know what you mean about the
painkillers making you drowsy I'm going through that at the moment.

Wishing you and everyone here A Merry Christmas and hope the new year
brings better fortune to everyone.
Love from
Joan
