watching it rain
Hi everyone! Just wanted to let everyone know we are hanging on, here on the east coast; we are getting hammered by tropical force storm winds and tremendous amounts of rain. Given most of the cities around here are barely above sea level, tidal flooding tends to be the worst. Where I grew up was under water (not into the house yet) at 4:30 am this morning at high tide; high tide comes again at 4:30 pm and they are expecting levels about 7-8 feet above mean low water; that means higher than the last hurricane, Isabel, in 2001, that left my hometown in tatters due to all the storm damage. I am hoping my mom's house doesnt get water in it this time, but I am sure my aunt's house next door to hers will have water; my cousin and my 99 year old aunt left yesterday to go to a hotel until this is done-her ability to take stairs isnt good these days. Water came into my aunts house in 2001, about a foot to 16" or so in the downstairs; it did about $160,000 damage and I hate that it may do that much again.
Here in Chesapeake, the low lying areas are already saturated, and the evening traffic should be a nightmare. I am glad I did not go anywhere and got groceries yesterday. My mom finally bowed to reason and left her house today for my brother's house, that is on higher ground then we are. I guess we will go over Saturday and see what the damage is; I am not looking forward to that!
I had my administrative hearing on Tuesday; the lawyer hearing the case requested more info so I am not sure when she will make a decision. Given its been 3 years since the accident, I am more than ready to have this finished!
Anyways, everyone take care

Hi everyone
I know its been a long time since I stopped in to say something and I don't have any excuses. I am still fighting the retirement system about my disability, and now am on attorney #2; let's hope he is able to do more than attorney #1. Waiting for all of this crap takes a toll out of me and frankly I am not interested in doing much at all. The psychologist I see once a month tells me I am depressed-like thats a huge surprise!-thankfully, the city is still paying for her services, and I admit I am depressed. So I stay on the Paxil and hope things get going sometime soon! Unfortunately for me, the cognitive issues continue and seem to me to be getting worse, especially when it comes to reading much of anything or following plots. As long as I stay with authors I read prior to the injury, I can follow enough to get a sense of what is happening; if I try a new author or fantasy series, I am totally lost. I really hate I no longer have my photographic memory; and the doc doesn't think that will ever come back. I no longer work at the bookstore because of this whole deal and I miss that too. Anyways, enough about how woe is me...
I am also playing WOW on the same server as Robin and Shez and Guy; however they are way ahead of me in levels so I don't interact with them as much as I would like. I need to catch up and that isnt going to happen but so fast as I try not to play until the evening; I dont want wow to become any more of an addiction than necessary.
I am sorry to hear of everyone's woes and send prayers everything works out.
Take care

Hope this finds everyone doing well. Things are ok around here; I continue to wait for my 3rd appeal on my disability retirement; and have gotten the 4th letter from my psychologist indicating I no longer have the ability to do a job as a child protective services investigator, due to the brain damage I got from the fall 2 years ago. I am beginning to wonder if this will ever end. The neurologist has not released me to return to work yet, and has no intention of ever doing so, which would make sense that I would be given my medical retirement, but nothing has gone as it should in this situation, so we wait.
Got 2 new crowns installed on the 2 dental implants in my upper left jaw-its so nice to be able to chew on that side again. I have 2 more implants scheduled for next week plus a tooth to be pulled; it takes 3 full months for the implants to be sturdy enough to attach teeth on them. I have a total of 8 implants to be done, at a cost of $16,000-this does not include the crowns, which are $1500 each; the city has to pay for these bills, which is only fair.
Still not able to read new authors as I can not follow plots; and my photographic memory is not working either; the neurologist thinks that ability is gone forever, which really sucks. I had all these books I wanted to read when I retired and now, I can't read them.
Nothing else is happening; I do play Warcraft, mostly on the server Shadow Council, with my 5 characters, as that is an RPG server; I have 2 on Doomhammer, but I don't visit there much as I don't know anyone over there at my levels. I don't get caught up in the raids or all the stuff everyone that plays a level 70 does, cause I can't really follow it or remember where to go; and also, because it flatly doesn't interest me; I got other things to do, including finding places to put stuff of my mother in law's as we have her home on the market now.
anyways, that's whats going on here

Still here & waiting
Hi all
I am very sorry about not keeping up with everyone and I don't have an excuse, other than I got lazy. Its been alot happening round here. Let's see, Chuck's mom died December 17 @ the age of 87; she had COPD and was not going to get better. Per her wishes, she had a New Orleans Jazz funeral, complete with a band...we all were in blue jeans and bright colors, per her wishes. For a funeral, it wasn't bad and we are all content knowing this is what she wanted. Course, that all screwed up Christmas, which meant not much happened. In January 2008, I found out I won on the city's second appeal of the workman's comp case; the city now has 30 days to decide whether they will appeal that finding to the Court of Appeals, so I won't know until the end of February what is going to happen. I will be glad to have this behind me. Then last week or so, we sent off over 4000 pounds of sports cards to a dealer in Michigan; I was really glad to see that go out of the house.
So now we are cleaning out his mother's home so we can sell it and I am trying to work what stuff Chuck wanted into our house, which isn't exactly without our own stuff.
I recently bought a 500 gb iomega hard drive to store photos and music, plus back up my computer; however, no software came with it, so if anyone has an suggestion as to what works the best, I would love to hear about it; mainly, I want the easiest way to store stuff on the iomega drive.
Well, nothing else happening; everyone take care
hugs to all

I am tired of waiting!
First, I took Lance's Nerd Test:
Now onto the post-I've been in a funk for a good while now, waiting for Workman's Comp to make a decision, as well as waiting for my retirement to come thru; I found out today, when I finally pinned someone down at Virginia Retirement System that my retirement will be held up until Workman's comp makes a decision; even though I am eligible to retire now. It means I am without an income, even though I should be retired, until the commissioner makes a decision. I am having to borrow money from my mom to keep us afloat while waiting for the decision; I was hoping the retirement would be decided by now and I could get out the funds I put into the IRA I have thru the city, but I can't touch that without my papers being processed. It seems to be a catch 22...I feel like Snoopy now, Arrrrrrgh!
I've been playing WOW now and have characters on 2 servers. I absolutely adore hanging out with Shez when she is on, even thought she is 50 levels above me; she is great for waiting for me when I ask for her help in doing a quest. I am looking forward to the time I am in her level range and can help her when she needs a friend. It aggravates me that folks leave her on her own given what great support she gives the other guildies.
I am now compiling a list of the sports cards we have, in the hopes someone who contacted us about buying all of them (over 200000 cards), it would be nice to get something for these things. My store on ebay is slow these days too, but that is ok. And no, I am not asking anyone to go buy anything from the store, I am just bitchin'.
My neice dropped a bombshell on us this past weekend; it seems she has decided she is bi-sexual, and likes both guys and girls, although how she knows that conclusively is beyond me, since she admits she has not been with a guy or a girl sexually...however, I assured her that regardless of what she does, or who she loves or who she sleeps with, we will always love her and will not abandon her, period. I think she felt a bit better, especially when I told her that I have been following a pagan path for over 20 years and was not converting back to christianity. While she said she was shocked I would admit it, she says she understands; I try to remember she is just 22 and graduated college in May 2007, and has not been around in the world. She starts work Monday at the Human Rights Council in Washington DC, and will work in the education department on the National Coming Out Day.
We are coming up on the 1 year anniversary of my fall, and the orthopedic doc is wanting to do surgery on my thumb and fingers of my left hand. I don't know if the City will cover this, so I have to wait til they make a decision.
At any rate, this is all I can type without fingers hurting, so I will say bye for now, hugs to all, and I will try to update this again before 6 weeks go by!

Waiting for Retirement!
Hi all
First, thanks to Lance for the wonderful birthday wish on Sunday; it was great having someone other than family remember, so thanks once again to my heart sib, Lance. {{{{{{{{{{{{}}}}}}}}}}
Secondly, the City has advised my attorney that they will not settle the case, but want a hearing, which is scheduled on 8/1/07 at 2:30 pm EDT. I need all the positive energy anyone can spare on that day for sure. I am also waiting for my retirement on disability to come thru; I have my neurologist's letter stating I can not mentally do my job *and no comments from the peanut gallery!) The neurologist does not know if I will ever regain all of my faculities or not; he said the best healing is within 6 months of the injury, and we are past that. I am having lots of issues dealing with the City's human resources department as they are giving me lots of problems getting paperwork straight. I will be sooooo glad when I am finally done with the city and that agency. I don't know if I mentioned it, but there have been 7 workers have left between April and July, and two more are leaving. A few of the folks do not have a job waiting, but they are tired of getting bashed verbally all the time.
I am actually enjoying not working (other than the money issue); its nice not to be tied up emotionally all the time. My flowers look good as does the front yard; the dogs are happy with me home, and of course, I get to spend more time playing WOW. Currently, I have 4 characters on the Doomhammer server; a dwarf hunter, a gnome warlock, a horde character, and a night elf warrior; I play all of them every week, so they are close in levels; I also have a dwarf warrior on another realm, a RPG one called Shadow Council, for those days I just don't want alot of talk while playing. Its a very good game and I do enjoy it.
Now, for those folks who want me to call them, I need phone numbers; my palm crashed a few months ago and I lost all my phone numbers, so send me your numbers and I may favor you with a call I fyou have a website, (Lance) please send me the link so I can go check that out as well.
Other than that, I am just waiting for everything to be over and done with. I am selling lots of stuff on ebay (no this is not an ad) and that keeps me some busy, creating the ads and all; I am selling stuff from my aunt's home and from my mother in law's home; my aunt died, and my mother in law has moved into an assisted living facility. The running joke around here is if you stand still long enough, I'll take a picture of you and put you on ebay.

updates & updates
Hi all
Nothing much happening here in Chesapeake; we had a wonderful time on the cruise and getting on & off was so easy, it was almost funny. I ate too much, drank too much, gambled too much, and did everything I wanted. Very nice. Hard to get back to reality.
Social Security said I am not disabled enough to get their funds; I will be appealing that decision but have to wait until my lawyer looks over the appeal.
I am continuing to play WoW, on the Doomhammer & Shadow Council servers; having alot of fun trying to keep all my characters close in levels and what they are doing. I am not playing Neopets, and I need to go get my critters into the hotel for another 30 days so they don't starve.
Not much else is happening other than my bookstore manager up and moved to Christiansburg, VA, to manage a Barnes & Nobles up there. It is about 15 miles from Virginia Tech.
Anyways, take call all; I'll try and post again when something happens.

workman's comp update & other stuff
Well, on Monday, my workman's comp hearing was continued because my lawyer was home in bed with a major migraine; I can't complain because I have been there and done that. The case is continued to 8/1/07 for a hearing; apparently, the City is going to claim that I had memory problems prior to the fall, and has one of administration coming to testify about that. Apparently, they are bringing my last evaluation from April 2006 as evidence (apparently, they haven't read this last evaluation because it is a meets expectation one and makes no mention of any alleged memory problems.) I continue to wait and see if they make a settlement offer. However, I am relaxed about it and am continuing with my other stuff.
I put in my disability retirement papers on Tuesday, so I am hoping they get on the ball and let me go ahead and retire asap. I am trying to take out my 401k funds to keep us going since I have no income currently. I am getting real tired of paperwork!!
I am playing WoW alot now, and enjoying my contacts with the folks on the Doomhammer server and the Endurance guild. I find it helps with my memory problems alot and also keeps me from getting bored.
I saw the orthopedic doc last week and got a shot of cortisone in my left thumb and in my right wrist; now both are feeling better and not hurting as much. The doc is talking about surgery on my thumb because I have bone on bone in there; I've told him I would let him know before the end of July.
Now for the fun stuff: my mom is taking me, my brother, his wife and their 3 kids on a cruise on Royal Carribean, leaving from Norfolk on Saturday, 6/23/07, and returning on 6/30/07. We are going to Bermuda and I am not taking a laptop to keep in touch. I still haven't packed but will do that tomorrow.
Ok, my wrist/thumb is aching again, so I am closing; take care everyone and see you when I get back from the cruise!
Hugs n love to all

My Daemon and other stuff
Hi all
Of course I had to take the test Shez & Robin posted; I'll post mine at the end of this comment. First, to bring all up to date, I am now out of leave I can use and have taken the 12 weeks of FEMLA leave; I was advised my workman's comp hearing is set for 6/18/07, so we have to manage on one income until then. We have cut out alot of luxuries and are not eating out much at all. Since I can't have any income right now, according to the lawyer, I am not even putting together computers for folks. My charity has gone right down the tubes...and I am refusing to assist other friends as they want to pay me and I can't accept it right now. Question-in the last post I entered, I asked if anyone who is reading this blog knows how to replace a laptop keyboard? I have the keyboard but my dexterity right now is not good as I have arthritis in my left thumb and tendonitis in my little finger and carpal tunnel in the middle-this is all on my left wrist, a legacy from the fall. I am back in physical therapy but still am in pain, so we will see how this goes for now. If anyone is interested in replacing this keyboard for me, email me and I will get with you to discuss the particulars.
I have been playing WOW for about a month now and having alot of fun. My favorite character is a Taren(and no, I can't spell) hunter who has a lion as a combat pet-my character is a member of the horde and she is up to level 17 right now. I have 2 other characters in Doomhammer, plus one in Shadow Council. I never realized how time consuming WOW can be.
So, while I am not working, I have been doing yard work, planting flowers, feeding the birds, and cleaning house. I am not cut out as a housewife; I get bored too easily. I am not reading much these days, although I have plenty of books to read, I still can not follow plot lines.
At any rate, typing is harder than usual due to the continuing issues with my left wrist, so let me close for now. Here is what my Daemon is now:

The Tech tragedy
For those of you who don't know, my brother and sister in law are Virginia Tech graduates; most of my extended family members who completed college graduated from Virginia Tech. I have a nephew who is a second year student this year (sophomore)at Virginia Tech. He was not on campus that morning but was at his apartment preparing to come to class. He is fine. I have alot of friends who are graduates and whose children are students; I've been to Tech numerous times. It is very hard to believe such a tragedy could take place on this wonderful campus where so much joy has been experienced over the years. How dare the gunman do this on that campus! Currently, the list of the dead and wounded has not yet been released, so no one is sure that folks we all knew and loved are not on that list. We wait and grieve and mourn for all those killed and wounded. Its like losing a family member and even worse because those that died didn't die from natural causes after a long and fruitful life; they were taken out in the name of insanity for no reason other than they were there.
I ask all pray to whatever gods/goddesses/special powers to help those who have gone, their families and loved ones.

Techie Questions & Updates
Hi all
I have a question to ask the techie folks amoung us; has anyone ever put in a new keyboard for a laptop-and I mean take the old keyboard out and put a new one in? I have a compaq presario laptop from a friend and her current keyboard is dropping keys like crazy; so I found a place online to buy a new keyboard from and I have that sitting in the box. However, I am not sure I have the expertise to install the keyboard and make sure it all works, so if any of you know how to do this and can do it if I ship you the laptop & new keyboard, please contact me. There are directions on the compaq site on how to do this, but I am not real sure I can remember the steps we must take to accomplish this. The laptop weighs about 7.5 pounds, and the keyboard is about 3 pounds, so I am fairly sure I can ship it to the person who will be replacing the keyboard. I will await your decisions on this matter.
Well, I've had all the tests run on my left wrist, so I see the Orthopedic/Hand doctor on Friday. I know he is going to tell me I have arthitis in the base of my left thumb; however it is aching on the little finger side. I just want the darn thing to quit hurting all the time.
I am still waiting for Workman's comp to decide what they are going to do about my appeal to them; I was denied the right to use the sick leave bank to cover this period, so I am without a paycheck currently. The doctor(neurologist) says I can not work due to post concussion syndrome and he predicts my recovery will take over a year. I am not sure what the City will want me to do, but I am not returning to that agency to work; I know I won't be able to breathe right if I have to return. What I would like is for the city to agree to allow me to go out on disability retirement for the full amount as if I had 30 years in, pay for my current & future doctor's appointments and I will keep my mouth shut! So we shall see on that note.
Hugs to all

downloading WOW as we speak!
Hi all
Well, I did a trial period with Everquest, just enough to decide I do like playing these kind of games online, so I went out and bought World of Warcraft and am installing it now. I guess before I decide what kind of character I want to play, I need to know whether those on these pages are Horde or Alliance? Although I don't want to play in a group especially, I don't want one of you to kill me either I am thinking of being either a hunter or a warlock cause they get to have pets But, let me know which side ya'll are on so I will know who you are. I will also post here when I have finished making a character what it is and the name.
So, I went by Social Security today to complete my application for disability; the fellow who helped me complete my application was very nice and said I should hear a decision within 60-90 days. Personally, I am thinking they will deny my claim but I plan to appeal that decision so we shall see. I go Monday to meet with my neurologist regarding the test results from the all day testing Wednesday. You know, this is the longest I have ever not worked since I was in college...very strange, and I am keeping it busy by having loads of doctor/dentist/lawyer appointments. I am hoping I don't have to return to DSS now because I know I can't do the job like I did. But that isn't up to me, so here I sit waiting. I figure now is a good time to play Warcraft to assist in keeping me busy.
I hear you folks in Nebraska and Iowa are getting hit hard with snow and gusty winds; we are getting the remanents of those storms tonight but it is just raining here and the temperatures are around 55-60 degrees.
Tomorrow, I go to see a hand specialist regarding the constant pain from my wrist-I think I pulled or tore some ligaments in there, but who knows! All I know is it shouldn't be hurting.
Ok, well everyone stay warm and dry and safe; jobs aren't worth losing your life or functionality in your life when there is ice and snow on the roads.
hugs to all
And Jason, happy belated birthday; I am sorry your mom is sick but glad to hear she is doing ok for now.

Checking in again
Hi all
I first want to apologize for not being anywhere around lately; suffice it to say I've been busy going to doctor appointments; let's see, here is the situation in a nutshell; the ortho doc sent me back to regular duty on 1/7/07; and less than 3 weeks later, I met with my neurologist regarding some memory & balance issues I've been having since my fall in September; he diagnosed a head injury from that fall and advised my work that I have some "cognitive defecits and may not ever recover them". He has referred me to a local brain injury center for a "neuropsychological" evaluation where the tests will be to see how much gaps I have in memory and balance; that test is set for Wednesday and will take about 8 hours, I am told. As of January 26, 2007, I was put on 12 weeks of unpaid leave as the city supposedly does not have light duty to assign me to. So far, I have sick and annual leave to cover it, but I am filing an appeal to the state worker's comp folks regarding the bills from my fall the city won't pay. In the event ya'll are wondering, for me, cognitive defecits mean I can't remember what steps to take when completing an assessment at work; I also can't read two books at the same time, because I can't keep the plots straight, and that is definately hard on me as I've always been able to read more than one at a time. I was contemplating retiring early, but have spoken to a workman's comp attorney who feels I have a very good case for disability payments, paid medical bills, and a stipend from the city, which would be nice. About all I have done since 1/26/07 is go to doctor & dentist appointments; so, the next few months should be interesting. Currently, I am working on the computer in my ebay store and learning how to play Everquest online. I've been at it about a month and am having a good time; I do intend to get into WOW, but I need to figure out Everquest first. I am trying to play about 2 hours a day.
Anyways, that is what has been happening in my neck of the woods; I am sure it is way colder in Iowa, Nebraska & Canada, but temperatures in the low to mid 30s is cold for this area, and it was sunny today, which was wonderful.

Hi all.
To confirm, yes I am still here, a bit ragged around the edges, but still here none the less. Ya'll remember the line about a long path...unfortunately, I can not; this is a slight introduction to the issues of my short term memory loss since I fell. According to my neurologist, I did hit my head when I fell and I am suffering from post concussion syndrome. He said because I broke teeth in the fall, that proves my head hit the ground somewhere; I do not remember the fall at all. At any rate, I am having short term memory losses plus poor balance-now I really can trip over a blade of grass on a sidewalk. The neurologist is sending me to a brain trauma rehab facility for a neuropsychological; he has to determine what damage there is and whether it is reversible; for right now, he has told my chiefs I can not do my job, so I am on temporary assignment being a clerk/secretary in Adult Services. Given I only have 18 months until I have 30 years in, I am not sure what will be happening while these months go by; I do know it should put a hold on my chief's attempt to fire me for not remembering things; now I have it in writing the memory loss I told them about at the beginning is real and now documented. I am waiting now for the chief to read the neurologist's findings and decided what she should do-personally, I hope she lets me retire, either on disability or regular, but lets me get the hell out of that agency. Not to mention the issues I am having with my wrist (the one I broke), so my chief should be glad to see my back going out the door
So, there in a nutshell is what has been happening in my life since my last post in December; how is everyone else? I do need to note that I am having memory issues while reading, so unless I have already read it, I can't remember the plot. That is why I haven't posted,but I decided to let my friends know what is happening. Thanks for asking about me.

update
Hi all
Well, I got out of the cast a week ago, but have to wear a metal brace 24/7 (except when in the shower) because it hasn't quite healed; the cast was driving me nuts so he took it off, and let me get into the brace. I finished physical therapy for shoulder and neck this week, and begin physical therapy for my left wrist and right elbow. The doc apparently thinks PT is going to be more painful than I do cause he's given me oxycontin, which is very addictive, so I am not planning on taking anything, given I have to work daily. Teeth repair is going slowly, and probably costing the City a fortune cause bridges and root canals and crowns are not cheap! I am still on restricted duty, which means I can't do my job, so that is thrilling me as well as my agency-I get tired sitting in the office Not much else is going on. Its been in the 60's and 70's for the last few weeks but its in the mid 40's now due to a cold front-I am sure that would be balmy out where you are
I am working at getting as many xmas gifts online as I can so I can avoid the malls-not doing bad at it actually. We got our xmas lights up last weekend and will finish the other stuff(lights and sculptures) probably tomorrow.
Typing is still kinda slow and hurts if I do it too much so I will close.
hugs to all and thanks for being interested in my recuperation!

I have a blue cast!
Hi
I am painstakingly typing this one handed, actually one and a half handed, as I have a nice dark blue cast on my left wrist-apparently I broke the wrist when i originally fell at the high school, but the doc in the box I went to did not see the break on the x-ray, and even though I complained about my wrist aching, he didn't do a thing. The orthopedic surgeon who I am seeing for my neck sprain and shoulder sprain x-rayed my wrist and showed me where it is broken, so I gotta wear this for 3 weeks. Not to mention, I get physical therapy 3 times a week for 3 weeks too. I had the bridge in my mouth removed as a tooth underneath it is broken...so I am looking at 3 new bridges, a root canal and two more teeth pulled. Of course, this isn't enough to be out of work, mind you. I got put on restricted duty, cept where I work, there is no such thing as restricted duty, I just go slower. Fun, fun, fun...

trying to get caught back up!
Hi all
I figured I had better post to let ya'll know if nothing else that I am still among the living! Its been rough since I fell on a concrete slab at a high school and broke two teeth, a bridge, and tore a rotator cuff in my shoulder. I finally got a referral to an orthopedic surgeon next week, so let's hope that works out. I got one of the broken teeth pulled last Wednesday and of course, I got a dry socket, which means lots of pain and constant trips to the oral surgeon. I had to go back in today and have it re-packed, but it does feel a bit better so I am thankful. Thank the goddess that all of these missed days and appointments is covered under workman's comp-since I fell during a school visit in a city car, I am covered. Let's see, we are trying to get grass to grow in our yard-its a guy thing!-and the birds think we are putting seeds out for them!
I did go take this quiz I saw in Shez & Guy's journal and for a change, I came out ok:

insomnia again!!
Gods, I hate not being able to sleep, especially on Sunday nights-I can't even blame having to go to work on Monday anymore, because I don't dread it like I used to do. Changing supervisors makes such a difference, even if only for a moment!
I am hoping this week is a bit better than last week-I go Tuesday to have my bridge and crown checked as I think I cracked the bridge and loosened the crown when I fell (I'll leave just how I managed to crack the bridge to another days storytelling).
Anyways, everyone have a good week and I will chat with you later
hugs n love
