Okay need ideas for a place to go with all of my limitations.So we can sit and talk comfortabley..................

what are some of both of your inrerest?

starbucks, or what ever the cannuckland equivalent is.

There is a place around here called Panera Bread Co.... they usually have comfy corners that have real chairs, like cushions, even couches, fireplaces, etc. You can get coffee, tea or eat lunch/breakfast.

You know, come to think of it, I have seen lounges like this in barns&nobles book stores.

Cool thoughts I mean going out to dinner for me is making it to the car and going through the drive thru and coming home cause i am exhausted .His love is kickboxing he teaches it.I dont think I will try that quite yet!!!!
I truly find it very hard to go out so my interests are home.I love watching medical,history,science documentories.Most of my life has been the kids and I.I love just sitting with them watching what they want.My world changed when i got sick.I love outdoors,hiking,nature walks,reading,and I have found it hard to start new interests with all the stress going on.In many ways I am learning all over again.I have a very repetative life the kids are use to.We have been working on Memory alot lately and so they phone and remind me or leave notes and sometimes on bad days they find garbage bags in the fridge and the milk in the cupboard so they leave me notes and stuff to focus.I am working so hard mentally to focus on making my body move that sometimes I forget my age,name,address,phone number, it is hard to find hobbies when my hobbies seems to be surviving.All of the ideas are awesome so far keep them coming Please.

Yes Paul!

Gail, just stop worrying and let it happen. You guys can talk about where to go or maybe he already knows. He knows you and your limitation so just roll with it.

Okay will try that for a while have to get Steele off to work and Destinys lunch ready.Hugs Gail

Starbucks is a multinational, so they probably have them in "Canuckland"

Yes We have Tim Hortons otherwise known as Timmies.That is my exs favorite hang out with all of his goons.The new club is the blacksheep old men who think they can kick butt.

Sorry shouldnt go there.
I always loved walking and hiking cause he was lazy and wouldnt come.
Now the only thing I can come up with to put the two together is a park where a bench is real close to the car.That is a real possiblity we could go down to the lake it is only 10 mins from here.Thanks guys you made me think and i have been able to come up with a plan.Cool Awesome

Thanks again
hugs Gail

I've been to Timmies in Nova Scotia, seemed to be half Starbucks, half Dunkin'Donuts. I asked for an iced coffee and the kid just stared at me...

Yes Mr. B You and others Thank you I know it is strangew but memerories and things come when they want.I had lost how much outdoors activities I loved .I spend so much time living in the here and now that working on remembering is hard now cause I am dealing with so many things at once.A lot of times on here someone says something a memory comes flooding back.May seem weird and not much but my family is unwilling to help me with memories and Eric wrecked all of my photo albums.A guy in his new bike club claims to have know me for years. I dont remember anything about him.Instead of just saying oh well I remember he called me a rude bitch for not saying hi.Eric does not come to my defence he leaves me standing out side of a donut shop well he goes off with his buddies so I took a cab home.This is the only safe place I can do my memory work.HUgs Gail and THanks again

What's in the past is dead and gone. I know that's easy to say, memories have a way of resurrecting themselves and biting us, hard.
Remember, We all love ya, Gail.

I know exactly what you are saying I have remembered the bad stuff but now I am trying to figure out who I am what did I like.I am finbally realizing that my whole life has been just shear survival.How do I learn to live ,feel,want,dream,I got the survival down but how do I learn to speak and feel alive.I know that since Eric and I have tryed to work things out I have been sick and listened to him yell and scream at the kids when he shows up.I feel like I went straight back to survival mode.Now I have had some sleep,teeth are healing,infection are all gone.It is like waking up from a coma trying to figure out what is going on.Eric is done in my world.In 2 months I moved,signed disability,got all 4 kids back,went to court,had 2 teeth pulled,about 1 week apart still have a slight infection in one and it hasnt started healing yet but the other is good now,dislocated shoulder,both ankels dislocated,x-rays,ultrasounds,doctors surgeons,nerve tests.I finally took 2 weeks and just slept.Now I am feeling better but its like okay get rid of Eric,I am getting stronger and feeling better everyday.Every time I try to live and enjoy this happens.Cycle he is taking advantage of me while I am sick.Got it Stop it.Now I want to live ,smile,breath,enjoy,and move forward.So Mr.B I thank you cause everyone here on this site I trust so when posts jog my memories it is the good ones.Simple things like what did me and the kids do when I could walk hmmmm oh yeah the library,walked to the canal and bruce trails,went fishing,feeding the goats at one of my kids favorite parks.I have a parts of the brain injury trying to heal,as it heals I get new meories that are old.I am feeling more emotion.In the miracle of the brain is things that can be fixed are and anything damaged to much our brain just trys new paths around the damage and when it reconnects it is awesome like being born again.I would never have felt safe enough anywhere else to let this process take over so it finally happened here.I love you all to and Thanks Love Gail

P>S.- How is scouts mom?

She's well, Gail. Going in for surgery tomorrow of the plastic variety. She's been losing weight (on purpose) over the past 6-8 months and now needs to have a tuck, skin removal, whatever. We're both busy and happy. I hope for the same for you, young lady, with or without a significant other.

P.S. I like the picture.
