I know nams. But I also know how busy they are in their careers and I just hate to burden them. They don't look at it that way, but I do. They would be angry if they knew I didn't call them if maybe I should have.

I guess you're left with going to bed early & getting a good nights sleep.

What's the weather like in Atlanta? What's the nicest time of the year there?

nams,

The nicest time of the year are Spring and Fall. Atlanta sits on a plateau 1,000 ft above sea level at the base of the Blue Ridge mountains and has long springs and falls. So, current fall weather is typically warm days and cool nights with low humidity. Summers are hot and muggy but not like the coastal areas like New Orleans. Winters are comparatively mild but much too cold for me. It can get surprisingly cold here but it doesn't persist.

Fall is my favorite season. It's fabulous here in CT. The key being no humidity. Gawd I hate humidity! Winters can be pretty, you know that from living in Boston, but the shoveling is the worst. Yeah, it's too cold here & it persists.

My sister lives in Beuford (sp) NC & apparently loves it, so I hear from my father. I lived in NC for few months in '84 in April, May & June. t was so humid I'd fall asleep any time I was outside for more than 10 min.

gotta go pick up son from chorus & get some milk. These boys can go through some milk! Middle one can't live without it.

I'm signing off & will fight the impulse to come back to the computer when I get home. I want a good & full night of sleep. I want to read some John Irving then drift off & not wake up unitl morning. Won't happen but that's what I want.

See y'all tomorrow.

Oh, I almost forgot. Take care Todd.

hmmm....

Just occurred to me I'm already up to 4 and a bit. Let's see if the legend is true...

2much,

So WH threatens to move out. Isn't that what should really happen anyway? I know you want to cohabitate till spring for financial reasons but, in terms of the M (and your sanity), next time he threatens to move out say "don't you DARE!". Works great on the kids. I hope he does move. You really need Plan B and you can't do it with him in the house.

Thank you so much for your support BigK. I was feeling pretty bad about myself earlier today, due to flirting last night and comments made here. I know I'm not quite getting it, but I will.

You people need to understand that you have ALL been dealing with these issues a he!! of a lot longer than I have, so you've had time to learn everything forward and backward as well as get used to all this. I'm not there yet, but I will be. It's all still brand new to me, and surreal. I'm trying and doing the best I can. I will make many mistakes, I'm sure, before this is over, but bear with me.

I appreciate everyone's input and advice, and if it appears that I'm not following it, I'm sorry for that, but I am. I have followed everyone's advice so far, on this thread as well as my own thread. I just don't always understand it and I'm trying to learn why you want me to do whatever it is.

Sure make fun of me.

Okay now I'm depressed.... <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Did you think I needed an invitation?

The concept of color blindness has always fascinated me ever since I saw a movie years ago about some kid who was color blind and ended up meeting Gina Lola Something. Can't remember much else about it. But, for example, if you see the color blue all your life but your mind perceives it as what I think is red, you have been told all your life that red is blue. So if someone tells you to paint something blue, you would go pick out "red" paint and paint the thing correctly blue. It seems like simple translation. So I don't understand how color blindness can ever even be diagnosed.

I am also fascinated about the famouse Land experiments where he proved how it was possible that we can see black on a TV screen which theoretically shouldn't be possible. I still don't completely understand that bit. If a TV screen is dark green when it is off, how can it be black when it is on? You can't take color away. So how does the TV do it?

I also happen to be color blind. I see colors and have no idea what I am missing. Apparently, I see some shades of red and green as gray. Tests I have done with WW and others.

So Todd, how do you know what you were seeing was red in the fonts?? Only certain shades of red and green you have trouble with??

I don't know how it is now, but it used to be that there was an image in red dots in a field of green dots and if you didn't discern the image then the diagnosis was made of color blindness.

And what was for dinner??

And here's another point. Ask your boys for help. They would be horrified if you needed them and didn't ask. And you wouldn't have taken care of them that way when they were young and needed help if ill, they certainly wouldn't want you to need anything now.

I would f/u with your doc...what was the episode that preceded this? Refresh my memory of where the tumor is and what type...glio? Is it parietal or temporal? Could be a number of things going on or could be related to lack of sleep on top of some side effects.

Not much help, sorry.

2much. I believe it's a brainstem glioma. Hopefully stage 2.

I think the problem is with certain shades or hues or red or green. Fire engine red I can see, at least my version of it.

Link below to typical color blind tests. I can see the number in the top left and none others.

Color Blind Test

I cannot think of anything that proceeds it. And it occurs with normal or less than normal sleep.

It's a brainstem glioma.

When did this start occurring? Before the irradiation but after the tumor started? Or since the treatments?
