MIA

Here I was all excited about my new blog - and I've been too under the weather to keep it up. I don't know what's wrong. Either do the doctors. I've been to my neurologist, cardiologist and even the local hospital. I've had ekg's, echocardiograms, chest x-rays, doppler tests and blood tests. I'm not a big advocate of medication and believe that it sometimes does more harm than good. I truly believe that this is one of those times. Despite my disability I have never relied on medication to help me get by day to day. Being the President of The BC Ataxia Society for many years, I have seen many ataxians on various medications., sometimes helping and sometimes not. We are all so different. So, I've always taken each day as it comes and have managed to trudge on.
Until now. This has thrown me for a loop - and I must admit at times I thought I was completely loopy! I made it my own decision to wean myself off my medication. Maybe not what the doctors would recommend nor what I would recommend for others, but what I myself feel is best for me. Despite being overly tired, for the past 2 days I have felt better than I have in several weeks. With my disability, I have the luxury of staying at home so am able to sleep in or try to catch up on my sleep whenever the need hits. I used to fight it - not any more. Yeah, guess I'm not as stubborn as I once was - if tired - I go to bed! It's a simple and rewarding thing!
Anyways, in between naps I have been sneaking off to scrap every now and then. I have made several christmas cards, experimenting with different techniques. I have also made 2 mini folder albums that I want to share with you. I have 3 mini albums to finish (2 of which I haven't even started) and am afraid christmas will be here and gone before they're done!
Well, it's always nice to get a surprise parcel in the mail once Christmas is over and the long, cold winter is upon us.
Please bear with me. Hopefully, I'll be back to my old self again and will share some of my projects with you.

Oh yeah - BTW - add me as a follower on this, my new blog. (previously Blue Apple)
