Ignore me, I'm simply jealous. Not really (the jealousy part, nor do I actually want to be ignored!), I am actually very happy for your good dating fortune. He sounds just as goofy and outrageous as you are. Besides, short guys rock...except for the tall ones that rock, too. You deserve this new relationship, and even if you aren't willing to commit to giving it a 'name'... Kel has a boyfriend. Kel has a boyfriend. Kel has a boyfriend. So there. And, please allow this to serve as a gentle example for the member who wrote to me about what scant, serious medical information there is on our message board; this kind of post is just as important as ones that address symptoms, treatment and research. I understand, honestly and truly, that kind of frustration. Of course, being part of this support group is important for the nitty-gritty of how our SOM experience mainifests for us. For me, I don't want to be defined or restricted, any more than necessary, by my medical problem. How we take the disabling aspects and manage them, work through and around them, and move forward in a healthy and balanced life is just as important, doncha think? Kel is a great example of this. She has some truly disruptive symptoms and she manages to go out and have fun, leading a life rich in experience and (now) boyfriends. How's that for a hijack?????? I will now take my jalapeno cornbread and my diet soda and go sit in the naughty corner. Spending so much time there, I've made it a comfy place. |

Thanks for the song Juds....even though he's not officially my boyfriend. And as far as my sometimes awfully disruptive symptoms go (they are fewer and farther between now, but when they happen, they are absolutely terrible and last forever!)...I am less worried about my actual som than I am about how my glaucoma will effect me. But, do I let it get me down? Heck no! (Ok, maybe sometimes) As far as this lovely site goes, there is some really useful and informative information in here. However, it is also a support group filled with wonderful friends I have never met. And if it were not for this group, a place to vent, to proclaim uncertain victories in the battle of som, (no matter how small or how large), or just a place to read information, well, I do not know what state I would be in..Ok, I'd still be in Illinois, but never mind that. That will be 50 dollars for the plug please! Now I am off to my naughty corner. |
