I have been reading a lot of articles from Duke University these days, seems they are one of the leading Univ. in performing clinical studies and research in brain cancer! I have been in contact with OSHU in Portland (about 3 hours away) and they will take me into a free clinical study if my tumor comes back, which is a 90% chance. They have some drugs they are trying out that help to open up the blood brain barrier for the current chemo med to work more efficiently.
What are you up to these days? Do you take part of summer off to spend with your kids? I am trying to spend more one on one time with my oldest. She was having a hard time lately and her pyscologists thinks it is a good idea. She is trying to separate from me as all teenagers do, but the Cancer thing is making it more so, she believes I am dying in the next year or 2 and I tell her that is not what I think will happen, but the stats are there, so I am not the type to lie to her and say for sure I will live a long time! It is complicated with her ADD on top of that! take care.
Hey, remember me?? Just kidding! You will have to read my latest blog to see where the heck I dissappeared to in the last month or so. I can honestly say I have seen insanity in my battle with this brain cancer, but I am back on track for the most part, still wrapping up some issue I caused during my time in Lala land with a major infection, but life is good.
Things are moving forward for my plans to attend ADD camp. My parents have agreed to help me pay... which will help a lot. Planning to see old friends in MI along the way. I am going to register this week to reserve my place and then I think I will let Brian know about it if he doesn't already. How are you doing? Ready for summer?
Just checking in... I have not been here in awhile... all is well. No worries. I am pooling all of my resources... and then some... and trying to get the money to go to Dr. Hallowell's ADD Camp at Leelanau in July. It is this ADDer's dream of Utopia... Northern Michigan (Ahhhh, HOME...) AND Dr. Hallowell... wake me up when I get back to DE... Keeping my fingers crossed that it all works out.
Keath, thanks for featuring ADDer World on your site and for that I have added your logo and link to the front page, on the right side. I really appreciate it and if you ever want to do a follow up, please, feel free :-) As a matter of fact, I have a new, exciting press release coming out in a couple days that I will send you that maybe you could use part of.... bless you!
In my younger days... I was part polar bear!!! I grew up in Northern Michigan and we used to go swimming in November! The waves were always bigger then and it makes me cold just thinking about it now!!! Burrr! I still like to ski but that involves long underwear and warm clothing... not a bathing suit and freezing cold water...
Seriously... I went to the doctor yesterday and got on the scale... (a few more pounds than I was expecting showed up) and so my plan is get to the gym tomorrow. I always feel better when I do. Since I am not working... I will go in the morning... like it or not. I'll let you know how I do. Even going through the motions can be helpful. I'll try to find a workout buddy... in the past I have had a hard time finding someone who was as serious and dedicated as I was but I won't let that hold me back this time... I'll see if I can find someone who is compatible. Thanks for the suggestion.
I live with my sister and she sometimes says are YOU OK? I'm like yeah, just taking a deep breath!
Dancing... I have been enjoying from the sidelines... went to a competition last weekend... going to another next weekend. Trying to find the "motivation" for lack of a better word to get to the health club (I already have a membership I'm PAYING for...) I know it relieves stress and I'm lucky to be able to afford it. NO QUESTION... exercise improves EVERYTHING!!!
I am working on... what is blocking me from getting in the car and going. I know that may be easy for most people but for me... it is a serious struggle. I will keep trying I PROMISE!!!
I am not wild about the helmut idea but... somebody said "the helmut is the new cool"... I own one now... promise to wear it!!! And I will. As will those around me.
Went to a ballroom competition last weekend. Sat next to Carrie Ann Inaba (Judge... from Dancing with the Stars)... whatever... she was nice. Going to another competition NEXT weekend... getting free Marriot points!!!
Thanks for keeping me posted on Liza and being my friend!
Taking a deep breath is a good thing!!! It is is the first thing I try to do when I feel stressed! If I could just do it more... I think we all be better off! LOL!!!
You were the ultimate winner in the contest; however, at your request I did not include you. I would still love to send you a copy of the book when it is published, from one friend to another :-)
Hello Ms Low , Bryan Hutchinson recommended me to check out your page . He told me that you might be of some assistance in helping me find some sort of ADD advacy here in NC . I would love to discuss with you some of the issues that I am dealing with. Well hope you have a blessed day
Ready for spring?! I am!!! lol oh and the natural vitamin D that comes with it for joyful smiles :-))
Hey, have you heard from Lizard lately? I am getting a tad bit concerned about her, she's been so quiet. She is so strong and inspiring, but, she's still human. Please let me know... thanks!
Please feel free, Keath, once the Coaching group is up and running a bit, to lend your expertise to the group! I know you're not a coach, but I also know that your wealth of knowledge about ADHD would definitely be an important contribution to the group. I'm going to list your information on a Self Coaching resources discussion I'm planning to include, because I know from reading alot of your articles, that they can be extremely helpful for those who are trying to manage without a coach. Thanks so much!
Hi Keath! I started a new group here on ADDer World, Coaching Corner. I'd love for you to join. For coaches and other professionals, it's an opportunity to interact with the members here, advertise your services, and be listed in the new Coaching Directory. If you'd like to be listed, please send me the information you'd like displayed. Please feel free to add discussions to the group with whatever resources you'd like to share. Hope to see you there!
