NINA posts:2	Re:Welcome   hi new members. my name is NINA DICKERSON AND MY HUSBAND DON AND I ATTEND METTINGS IN SILVER SPRING WHEN WE HAVE THE TIME TO ATTEND. I HAD MY STROKE BACK IN 2003 WHILE VISITING MY PARENTS IN THE PHILLY SUBURBS. I AM NOW 58 AND AM ABLE TO WALK ACCEPTABLY BUT NOT REALLY FAR. I HAD THE STROKE BECAUSE OF LUPUS ANTICOAGULANT THAT CAUSED CLOTS THAT TRIGGERED MY STROKE. FOR A LONG TIME I WAS VERY DEPRESSED. I NO LONGER AM ABLE TO USE MY LEFT HAND AND DO NOT EXPECT THAT TO HAPPEN FOR ME. FORTUNATELY, I HAD TAKEN THE OPPORTUNITY TO RETIRE EARLY FROM MY JOB AS A COMPUTER SYSTEMS ANALYST FOR THE U.S. GENERAL ACCOUNTING OFFICE WHEN I TURNED 50. I RECENTLY RE-JOINED WEIGHT WATCHERS SINCE MY HUSBAND WAS ABLE TO HELP ME LEARN HOW TO GET ON A SMALL SCALE AT THE MEETINGS. I HAD BEEN PHYSICALLY ACTIVE BEFORE MY STROKE AND THIS YEAR WE FIGURED OUT HOW I CAN USE A STATIONERY BIKE. EVERY TIME I BIKE, I WALK BACK TO OUR APARTMENT IN THE COOP DOWN LONG HALLWAYS THAT ARE APPROX. 100 YARDS LONG. TO DATE, I AM ABLE TO CLIMB STAIRS THAT HAVE A RAILING BUT FIND I NEED HELP IF NO RAILING IS THERE. MY ONE-HANDED DRESSING STILL STINKS AND I AM UNABLE TO PUT ON A BRA BY MYSELF AND I DO NEED TO WEAR ONE. IF YOUWANT TO CONTACT ME , I CAN BE REACHED BY EMAIL AT NDICKER@AOL.COM. ONE MORE THING. THIS TUESDAY MAY 24, THERE WILL BE A SHOW OF EVIE'S ADAPTIVE CLUTHING AT THE YWCA NEAR 9TH AND F STREETS IN DC. YOU MAY GET MORE INNFO BY EMAIL TOEVIES ADAPTIVE CLOTHING@HOTMAIL.COM I THINK IT WILL BE IN THE AFTERNOON AND SHOULD HELP FOLKS WITH DISABLITIES INCLUDING SARTHRITIS
