Hi everyone!

Well, Julie's saga continues ... just when one problem leaves another one comes up! So here is the deal, after dinner dh and I were getting ready to walk, I was going down the hallway to get my shoes on, and I told you all my knee was acting up right? well last night it totally GAVE away! I could NOT walk, LITTERALLY, I was just standing there helpless, Pat had to be my crutch and walk me to the couch, it was right there I had a mental break down, I'm being tested BIG time right now, all these things have happened since I started church, I'm not kidding, I started church in October and things have gone wacko since then! I'm not giving up, I'm going to pass this test period I'm in!!! God WILL get me through it all!!!! So I had a very sleepless night as it is VERY painful, but at least I can walk on it again, I'm limping but I can get around, TG it is my left leg so I can still drive... I'm going to fake it at work today, I've called in sick way too much this past month so I'm going to see if I can get through it! I'm praying that once it really warms up it will be better!

As for the medication, I'm really not wanting to take it, KKim, I've heart that it affects the respitory like that, I really don't like taking anything, and especially when it is NOT a cure ... the question I do have is this ... is it less likely for me to have a stroke if I'm on beta blockers? beta blockers keep the blood vessels opened up. So that is where I stand right now on that, Steffi and Kim thanks for your input, I feel the same as both of you and I value your opinion!

Carol-Ann, thanks for explaining the threat, that is sad really, so ungrateful, just remember this, everyone has their judgement day

Steffi I'm sorry girl, work is a big problem, job security is important, I hope something really good comes in your path soon!

Again, Steffi and Kim, thanks for you input!

I hope no matter what obstacles are in your way ... YOU all have a VERY nice day!
