Default Quick update

Life in Vegas is busy...
I am working full-time again. I work for a Property Management Company.
For all you Americans that are familiar with Homeowner Associations, I'm the
evil girl that sends you the letter that says mow your yard. I'll be a
manager by October when my license comes in. This will give me a more
flexible schedule so I can finish school. !

The kidlet is doing fine. School is a challenge, he has struggled this
year. Florida education system sucks BAD! They teach cursive in THIRD
grade here, so he was an entire year behind in writing AND he's a lefty so
it was hard at first. He's catching up and doing well.

My hubby is the sound engineer for the new show at the Sahara Casino
"Saturday Night Fever". It's the Broadway play staying at the Sahara, just
like "Mama Mia" is staying somewhere.

I don't go to The Strip much, it just isn't me.

I've met a lot of like minded women here and we've become fast friends.
We've even started a book club of sorts. This month is The Red Tent by
Anita Diamant. I highly recommend it. It's the story of Dinah told from
her point of view. Dinah was the son of Jacob, who was the father of the 12
tribes of Israel. Interesting story. Very woman oriented. The Red Tent is
the tent the women went to during their monthly. Very very touching book.

I'm growing stronger in my own Path and enjoying myself more and more. I'm
stronger mentally and emotionally than I've been in years. I like me again.
!

Physically I'm doing okay. I still have migraines, but I'm on medication
and it's working for the most part.

That's me in a nutshell. I'll try to come out to play more in the future!

miss you all! I truly do!

love,
*bri

It is so good to see you online again. We now have a lot in common.
Last November 17 a city bus ran a red light and plowed into my car. I
was thrown against the windshield and hit the back of my head against
the driver's side window. My Ford Taurus was destroyed and I have
horrible migraines and paqrtial seizures about every 5 minutes on the
right side of my brain. It feels like a worm wiggles in my right
eyebrow! I also have upper back and shoulder pain that hurts all the
time and my right jaw has TMD which hurts and pops and is just not
aligned properly. I was thinking a lot about you and how you survived
your car crash and now I can relate all too well to the slow recovery
and how it just alienates you from fast-moving modern society. I just
can't keep up likei used to. I take naps and walk my dog and hang out
with my girlfriend and read a lot but only a little at a time. I
don't watch tv because it hurts my head, all that light and all those
colors. I was taking Elavil to prevent the migraines but it made me
so sleepy. I'm off everything except Paxil for the depression and
feeling great! My son is in foster care and doing fantastic. I also
found a great church that is supportive of my spiritual beliefs since
my near-death experience, the Unitarian Universalist church. I feel
better about myself than I have in a long time. My 30's have been
good to me too! I'm glad to hear you so happy and still in school. I
plan to use the bus accident money (when I finally get a settlement)
to buy a REALLY safe car and togo back to school. Aain, it's good to
see you Brianne.

Hey Lorian.
Sorry to hear so many terrible things have happened.
My friend has mild seizures on one side of his brain as well...I forget what
they gave him, but it seemed to help.Sometimes accidents can trigger
fibromyalgia. Walking helps as I have this along with lupus.
How old is your son now?????
Good luck and prayers your way.

Hi Vicky!!!

It's great to see you posting again too!

My son is 17 already! I see him about once a week and he is so much
happier now, I am very proud of him. He and I went through a lot
together and he is just great now.

How are you and yours?

Lorian

We are awesome. They are leaving for a month to see their dad. I start my new
job next week, and finished school, going to go one more year... and still
planning on law school! John is still loving golf and Catie is my little rock
star.
Whew.
