Hi Anna,
Yeah I was sarcastic about my family but believe me, they've earned it. Anyway, they only have themselves to blame as they were my best teachers:))
I certainly don't blame you for being anxious about whether this new treatment will be successful or not. I know I would be if I were in your position.
But the only way you're going to know if it works or not is to try it. If you don't try it, it's not going to have any chance of working right?:)) I hated it when people gave me that type of advice and here I'm doing it to you:)) Forgive me for being a hypocrite:))
To answer your question, LD stands for learning disability and I am 45. For those people who are not familiar with LD, it means we have average to above average intelligence but due to faulty wiring in our brains, depending on which areas give us trouble, we have problems learning the traditional way. For example, I have trouble reading alot of written material (reading through posts on this board isn't a problem) and as a result, I prefer audio books.
Back to your situation - I don't mean to sound like a pop psychologist but I find it interesting that you seem to be the strong one in the hospital. That's good in a way because it takes your mind off your own problems. But I hope you make sure that your needs get taken care of also.
To end on a positive note, I survived my family dinner in one piece and I'm feeling better. Hope my luck continues and it crosses over the Atlantic Ocean in time to affect you during your hospital stay in four weeks. Then you have to send it back across the ocean and we'll keep pushing it back and forth. I don't have a pigeon so I'm not sure what we could use:)) If other people on this board want in on the action, they'll get some also.
Take care
Shirley
