I think we could be friends. I love the term "wasband" so true and I too gave up trying to be what others wanted me to be.Blindbeardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13653985941985467240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701222297302500076.post-34585182389481308872008-09-14T17:30:00.000-04:002008-09-14T17:30:00.000-04:00I too have kept notebooks for years.

Neverthless, I will say to you, "There is nothing wrongbmnmirz with you and there never was. You are truly amazing just the way you are."Denver Refashionistahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17681030016057155728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701222297302500076.post-9808895900188357992008-09-14T16:17:00.000-04:002008-09-14T16:17:00.000-04:00Joan, I also have done the same thing with all my ...Joan, I also have done the same thing with all my health issues. Started it out in a journal and then went to a full-on binder which houses all my test results and appointment info.<BR/><BR/>I've found this to be a valuable tool as I visit different doctors. I also keep sheets for major doctor appointments listing my current meds, any changes since my last visit, and my current concerns.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I should blog about that one of these days! LOL<BR/><BR/>Thanks again for stopping by to read and comment. It's so nice to feel connected to others through this cyber world of words.<BR/><BR/>WeebsWeeble Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00050260796290008851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-701222297302500076.post-86341685193729258772008-09-14T11:15:00.000-04:002008-09-14T11:15:00.000-04:00Hi Weeble!

For some reason, I have kept them all, and they came in handy recently when I had to compile loads of paperwork for disability. I was able to go back in time to capture all the dirty details of my health decline over the years. Unfortunately, going back and re-reading all these journals was incredibly depressing. But I was also amazed at how I continued to work and function through all the miserable feelings, discomfort, and deep depressions.<BR/><BR/>I'm glad I maintained a written record of my health history, but I really don't want to ever read them again. I need to look and move forward. I'm still working on that...Joanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01433899026248078576noreply@blogger.com
