Alerts still not working

All of my AOL alerts are not working still. I don't know who to contact about this.
I woke up this morning shaky once again. It was in the upper 50's yesterday here...and I was sweating! I don't know why I'm so hot as well. It's 55 degrees right now, and I woke up in my own sweat! I'm having a lot of little muscle spams in my legs and arms. I would like to know what's what...which illness is doing this. I can barely walk this morning as well. My back/spine is in a lot of pain, and my legs are very weak from the spasms. My son and daughter weren't here yesterday and last night. My husband slept on the couch last night. I like it when he does that so I don't feel alone if something does happen.
Sooo, from the looks of things...it doesn't look like I'll be able to go to the festival this year! This will be the first time in years! There's always next year. :o)
I'll just take it easy today and see what happens. :o) Thank you for all of your comments! :o) I appreciate them so much! :o) God bless all of you! :o)

Journal alerts Aren't working.....

*****I'm having problems with my journal alerts not working....is anyone else having the same problem?*****

A bridge~A car~And laundry detergent....Oh My!

Good morning! I hope that everyone had a wonderful day yesterday! :o)

Well let me tell you how my day went yesterday........... After posting an entry and reading everyone's journals, I got the mail and got dressed to go cash my check. I did nor felt any different then I have been. I got in my car and my daughter had told me that the new bridge is open! Finally! (the city had taken down an old bridge and made a new one) So...I went to a grocerie store to cash my check and get laundry detergent. Things seemd fine...except I was shaky...again, thats nothing new to me. I just start shaking! Not being able to hold things in my hands and such. I still felt fine and I wanted to go see the new bridge. I went over the new bridge and as I was...I started shaking pretty bad and was having problems seeing and driving a bit.

Again....I'm used to those happening to me. But I thought maybe my sugar was low because I hadn't eaten yet. So I continue driving...went through the mall's parking lot and went to Wendy's drive through. I ate some fries and nothing was working! I pulled out of the parking lot and knew I needed to get home fast! People that live here in town will now the distance between Wendy's and Home Depot. I made it as far as Home Depot and was going to pull in and rest, and call home....my daughter and son were here....

Well, I thought that I'd try to get closer to home before I'd call. Not very smart at all on my part! I was really getting pretty scared! I was shaking so bad by the time I got to the intersection of the bank and George's Dairy Barn...I had a hard time with the car because my legs and arms were pretty bad....again, not too smart to do. I went ahead and made it home. I pulled in the drive way and I called the house. My daughter answered and I asked if she could come out to help me...by then, I was even having problems talking. She thought that I ment for her to help carry something in the house for me. Not the case this time. After she got to the car, she noticed that I was not in a good way....she got my son and his friend. My son got me out of the car and his friend and my daughter gotmy wheel chair to get me in the house.

What I remember is hearing them talking and the next thing I knew, I was in my bed. My daughter had taken my blood sugar and it was fine. My body was getting ready to have a seizure. After I had it and went through it all, I felt bad that they had to do all that they did...I should have just pulled into the parking lot like I was going to, instead of risking others and my life. Afterwards, I was very weak and still a bit shaky.

My back/spine was and is in so much pain! I have so many more muscle cramps and of course I feel kind of weird in the "head area." I haven't had a seizure in about 6 months. I'm just so used to having an "aura" before one hits me, plus I've put my seizure disorder on the "back burner," since I'm having more problems with my other illnesess. Well, it didn't let me forget yesterday! Whew! I sat in bed for awhile to get ahold of myself. To my surprise...while I was gone, my son and daughter were surprising with rearranging the living room and washing the windows and really cleaning! WOW! :o)

I had ordered a futon/sofa, and it came yesterday! My son and his friend put it together. :o) It was such a great surprise! :o) Since I'm not able to do the things that I want to do to this house...I have to look at a messy house, but my kids did a bang up job! :o) I love it! :o) So....I'm so very proud of my kids! :o) They grew up with seeing me have seizures, so they already know what to do to help me. :o)

Sooo, I had a great day, just add in a seizure! :o) I'm so very grateful that they were both home! :o) Today, I'm pretty weak and my body is still recovering, it usually takes about 3 days to get/feel back to "normal." My normal! lol :o) So today, I'm just going to take it easy and rest. :o) Thank all of you for your comments! They do help me through my days! :o) God bless all of you! :o)

Cover for Dummies book! LOL

LOL I just had to do this!
This is where I got the idea!

P.S. ROFL!!!....I have no idea what I was trying to type after exciting way...LOL Because the phone rang and I tend to type what I am hearing! ROFL!!!! Sorry! :o)

Nothing in general.

This week has surely seemed to just drag on and on for some reason! lol It has rained most of the week, been cloudy, and cooler then August should be. This weekend our town is having their annual Heritage Festival! Yay! :o) I go every year! This town was once home to the Miami/Shawnee Native Americans! :o) I really love to do research about this town. :o) I have Blackfoot Native American in me, and then the rest is all Hungarian! lol What a mix! LOL :o) My dad is full Hungarian. :o) But tomorrow I would love to go to the festival! :o) How I will get around...who knows...but I'm not going to let that stop me! I'll find a way to get around....I'll take my walker, cane and wheel chair if I have to! :o) I love to sit and watch the Native American dances....it is so beautiful, and it always gives me chills! :o) I can't wait until tomorrow. :o)
Today, I have to pay bills...<sigh>. Not hard, just do it on line. :o) I know I still need to get some rest before tomorrow, because that will drain me of all energy that I'll have. My mom will be taking me, so I know I'll be in safe hands. :o)
So far this morning......my journal alerts have been working...but...I get 2 alerts for each journal! LOL Is it me doing something wrong, or aol...LOL I'll figure it out! LOL Too funny! :o) At least I'm getting them now! :o)
I woke up this morning because of my back/spine and my shoulders hurting. My hips are starting in on me now as well. Probably because of the weather. Plus...it's 63 degrees right now! Wow...and this is August?! :o) Seems odd! I like it that it's this cool, but doesn't seem right. lol If it keeps up, the leaves will change earlier.
Thats all for now....Thank you for your comments! :o) And God bless you all! :o)

Something to share

Faith is your gift
the ability to believe in what you cannot prove
to imagine
to dream
in a purpose
in one another.

Out of faith comes hope.
Hope is your way out
out of depression
out of despair.

From hope comes your will to try
for dreams
for a future.

Love is your gift of thankfulness
a willingness to share of yourselves with others.
Without Love there is deceit -- selfishness.

Faith - Hope - Love
all gifts.

They are yours.

Use them.

The less you use them
the more your flame fades away.
