So glad to hear that you're doing better!! And there are no "spelling police" on the board either!! :D

Good for you, minnow! Keep it up! Your spelling isn't as bad as you think!

This is so interesting! I have a friend who was a master teacher at the time of her illness (encephalitis (sp?). One of her children had chicken pox and that's how her body reacted to it. To make a very long and sad story short, she suffered brain damage and can no longer teach. If I can get her still long enough, I will try to get her involved. She is very active in a lot of things. She joined a line dancing group, cleans houses, and takes care of her grandchildren. She has come a very long way. She re-learned to read with her twins that were in the first grade. Nouns are her biggest hurdle. She rarely remembers my name, but it's getting better. She is very intelligent so has found ways to let us know what she is thinking. For instance, when she wants to name my son, she says something like this:"I saw your boy (son) who is my brother's good friend."

Minnow...I've seen the pictures you have posted of your work, it's fantastic!
I've been an OTR trucker too (team with my hubby)harder work than it seems like...did you have your accident in the truck?

I'm sure glad you survived the wreck, even if you do have some problems because of it. Sounds like you had that trucker's angel on your shoulder!

You hang in there...and keep quilting!!

I think it's great that you have a fantastic attitude! I had brain surgery a few years ago and as a result I lost my right field vision (told it was permanent). I had to adjust the way I look at things and remember where things are so I don't bump into them or burn myself while cooking, I try not to drive often and it's been difficult to read. I still get really bad headaches and migraines. I thought my therapy was soduku, which I play daily, until I took up quilting. It may take me while but it is so relaxing. My sewing/dining area is set up where mostly everything is to the left of me this way I can see better and do less turning to the right to get something. Good luck to you and keep up the great work!
