Anthony, I agree with the people that say I need twenty-four hour care. This is because I get up several times in the middle of the night and I need help every time I get up.

I would also love to know the person or people who are telling you that you need twenty-four hour care because they told me the same line and I was believing it like a religion until January, when I made my parents, people we know and even myself look like we didn't know anything. I'm telling you just to try anything and don't totally believe the ideas of others and yourself, people can be wrong more easily than they can be right.

Last weekend , we went to see me brother and his family. While , we were there we went to a Fish Fry. I am still working on my directories. I am still working on DeWitt. My attendant , Jane , came back on Monday. This week , I have been working on feeding myself and I am successful at it! But , I tire very easily and fast. I am starting off slow with just finger foods. I'm not going to move out. I need twenty-four hour round-the-clock care. I am going to be looking in to Adult Family Homes or Group Homes. Probably will start to try to stay somewhere else sometimes when my parents have things to do on the weekends as a form of respite. I am starting to use a wheelchair in the house. (Before this , I scooted around on the floor in the house ) I just got a new push wheelchair. It was used , but , when I got it , it was in execellent shape. I have some computer questions. . . In Internet Exploder, I , somehow lost the place where you would type webpage addresses to get them up on your computer monitor if I don't have them in my favorite list. Does anybody know , how I can get it back? I can't add anybody to my ICQ Contact List. My ICQ UIN # is 108995479. I just got AIM yesterday , but , my computer doesn't like my screenname and password that I typed in. What can I do about this? Does everybody that has AOL have AIM? If so , are their ScreenNames just before AOL.Com in their E-Mail addresses. Now , I have PalTalk. My nickname on there is KJPink Prayers are still needed for my good friend , Ronda. She is out of the hospital. She is been taken care of by a 70-80 year old woman. They told the hospital that she was a RN , but , she isn't. Ronda needs dressing and to learn how to walk all over again. They won't let anyone else to help Ronda not even her own family. What made her sick in the first place is having pets in the house. Where Ronda is living now , there are twice as many pets in the house than where she was living before. This week , I was asked to give another presentation by my old Speech Teacher. I will be giving this presentation in the afternoon of June twenty-first.
