I won Number 55 today. This Aloha Award It is hard to get. They
don't even give out one a year. It is another international award. I
moved over 3 pages of my blog so far.
I am moving my blog over to another blog provider. My page
is staying here. I do not experience problems with it. Just the
blog. It has gone down so many times. It takes me an hour to
fix the errors and blog. I made the new blog. I started moving
every post over. I can’t leave any. The past 3 weeks were
getting worse. That black line was not esthetics at first. That
was error I had to run with to make it look good. I chose the
same blogger as Glen form At Risk blog. Hope it works. I will
post here until I get everything transferred over. I was so
healthy yesterday. I just tripped again. My meds are
working. There is no anger or irrational thinking anymore. I
am stable. I have been having the panic attacks again. We
need more tic tacs. Follow your heart when it comes to HD.
Got a dream? Got a goal. We are thinking of going to the
Queen Charlotte Islands. We were watching a show and
wanted to go worse I always wanted to travel. I have not been
anywhere until I met my Hubby. Never seen the ocean. My
dream. Figure out yours. Motivate yourself. Have fun. Smile.
Anything is possible. Set your goals. Live them out. Have fun.
We deserve to be happy.
I now take donations on my site. I have a link that leads to the
Canadian HD Chapter. I need to help us get money around
the HD May Awareness Month. I will be keeping it
permanently. A lot of people wander in here to see my
awards. They have to learn about HD now too. If they want to
donate there is now a way. I am looking in to selling
Amaryllis lily’s. Creston is full of them in all of the flower
shops. People love flowers here. I have never done it before.
This will be my first time. I see them all over the place here. I
know a lot of my good friends would buy some. My landlord’s
have HD in their family too. Yesterday we made a good stir
fry. It was my creation. No recipe or anything. I have a habit
of my arm falling asleep while I sleep. I yelled for Trevor I
was in so much pain. I could not move my arm for ten
minutes. Ouch. Yesterday I was really sick. I have noticed in
the morning I am HD free. Then I get sicker. I keep waking up.
I think I might need sleeping pills. This Serquil gives me
energy. It makes me wake up a lot too. Last night I woke up 4
times. Live your life the way you want to. Never let HD rule
your life. That is yours. That is mine. I will not let HD take
away my dreams and goals. Never give up on yours. It is your
life. Is your life worth fighting for? Yes it is. Everyone of our
lives is worth saving. Never give up on your life. Live. We won’t
have HD for long. Not long and we will be cured.
Next month is HD awareness month. A big month for us. My
meds give me major energy. I was used to be sedated.
Yesterday I was so sick. I was the sickest I have been. Could
hardly walk. Hardly talk. Could not get into my pajamas. I
burnt my hand. I also fell outside hard and skinned my leg.
My Nurses are now worried when I take my baths. They think
that Trevor should be there. I still think I am fine there.
Whenever I go to fall I still catch myself. Just today is the first
fall. We have the grab bars up. So sick,I have been having
trouble eating. I am trying to eat breakfast. Got an upset
tummy. Yesterday I also had an all hallucination day. Last
night I saw a very scary face in the blind. Another scary color-
visual. Very scary. Everything looked so real. I am feeling
healthy this morning. I did yesterday morning too. Got really
sick around 4. My brother Gary is back to work. He works two
days a week. He works at an auction mart. He sells cows and
horses. My Dad has convinced me to look for a volunteer job.
There are hard to get though. I would love to volunteer with
animals. They have an animal shelter here. See if I can find
something. My little Lucky. We are the hottest place in
Canada. The past week. Poor little Lucky. I take the bottle of
water. Shortened his walks. It still gets to him. Love our lives
for what they are for. We have HD. It is a greater reason to
live. A greater reason to hope. A greater life if what we need.
Fight for that. I try everyday to find that. They purpose for
living. We all can find a reason to fight. A reason to live and
accept HD. Until we are cured we have this. We have HD.
Everyone knows. When Gary got sick before Dad got him
tested we knew. Since he was 21. We noticed little changes. I
am glad he is back at work. He feels important by working He
was so depressed. I felt bad because I have this website. He
had nothing. Me, this is my work. I don’t get paid. It is good
work. Everyday I get up sick and give everyone here a glimpse
of hope. Every single day non stop. I even had home care give
me time to do this. I will never give up this site or blog. I will
never let home care slow me down. We all need so much
hope. We need it bad. Having this mission adds so much to
my life too. I still feel bad that I did not get this idea sooner. I
think it had right timing. When I first starting have mental
symptoms. Never lose sight of the cures and treatments for
us.
These are a Bunch of HD Pocasts.

Yesterday my meds got changed. MY HD Physiatrist DR Trew,
sent an email to my Doctor here. Dr Walker. When they put
me on Serqiol, I did not know the rest of his specifactions.
My Docter did not tell my family either. I was supposed to be
weened off Welbruitin. Along with my Serqiol I am supposed
to take Epival. They were supposed to go together. That is
why the Serqiol did not stop the anger and irantional
thinking. The Epival is supposed to do that. That is what I am
doing now. That keeps me up. I was up at 12 last night. Could
not sleep. I am going to try taking them earlier. I feel
exhausted too. They might have to adjust the Epival. Woke up
at 7 this morning. I am going to change the HD information
page with my new meds. We are hoping they work. My Dad
and Trevor are going to watch me like a hawk. I don’t want to
go to the hospital again. Let’s learn to love our life again. Let’s
learn to accept HD. We are all going to get sicker. Loving our
life means accepting HD. We can’t move on until we accept.
HD is what we are. It is how we chose to fight HD that makes
the difference. Accept HD and find the hope. We have it. Own
it. Own HD it is not going to go away. Until we are cured.
Shorty. Until then we will have it. Believe me when I say HD is
temporary. We will be cured soon. None of us has to die.
We do not know if my Zyprexa is working anymore. I have to
go to my Docter today. We need to review my meds. Last
night I felt angry amd irantional. For the past week I have
been feeling like that. My Nurse will take me there. We are
making appointments to go to Calgary in July. The social
worker sent us a message. Everything is ok. Today no
chorea. I am so healthy. Except for mentally. I need to get
something that works more than a month for me. I am so
healthy today. It is werid one day healthy. The next very, very
sick. Let’s find the hope deep inside us. Let’s find our hope
implanted in our hearts. We know now that we can get cured.
We know now that everything will work out. Plan your life.
Forget HD. Just live. This is all we have. Not for long. We have
HD. We can fight you every day. Every way, we have to fight
you. We need control. We need the right to smile. To laugh.
We have to fight for every one. Only we know how hard that
fight it is. We should never lose soght of what really matters.
We matter.
