Dancer Girl says:
I've had an offer to dance in a local company's production
Aerial says:

Aerial says:
(BRB)
Dancer Girl says:
it would one show a night during the week and two each saturday and sunday
Aerial says:
Are you up to it?
Aerial says:
You have Ms You dont wont to overdo it
Dancer Girl says:
yes, I have a slight case of MS
Dancer Girl says:
well, it's a no pressure kind of thing, it's not like I will spend all day in practice,
Aerial says:
thats good
Dancer Girl says:
once I learn the part, I just have to come like an hour before the show
Aerial says:
how are you doing with your diagnosis?
Dancer Girl says:
and it will just be for like 6 weeks
Dancer Girl says:
it's a really good opputunity
Aerial says:
Thats awesome
Dancer Girl says:
I think so too
Aerial says:
I heard the adoption was made final, they were able to expediditite it so we are cousins in a way
Dancer Girl says:
yeah, it was final this afternoon
Aerial says:
I am happy for you
Dancer Girl says:
me too
Dancer Girl says:
my parents went on trial in England for their crimes
Aerial says:
thats good
Dancer Girl says:
I'm probably going to have to testify
Aerial says:
Im sorry to hear that
Dancer Girl says:
I'm so scared of having to face them again
Aerial says:
i know
Aerial says:
I feel the same way about Bill
Dancer Girl says:
they are shipping my dog to me
Aerial says:
thats good
Dancer Girl says:
I've missed him so much, my parents made me leave him at home while we were touring
Dancer Girl says:
but the police raided the house the other day and found him
Dancer Girl says:
I think I told you about Soda, my Husky
Dancer Girl just sent you a nudge.
Aerial says:
Yeah I like the name
Dancer Girl says:
he's awesome
Aerial says:
thats great
Aerial says:
sorry I am having a really hard time focussing right now
Dancer Girl says:
why?
Aerial says:
You heard about Bill?
Aerial says:
Mason?
Dancer Girl says:
yeah
Dancer Girl says:
I've heard bits and pieces
Aerial says:
He sent Mom a really mean letter
Aerial says:
and now Moms in the hospital because her MD is acting up
Dancer Girl says:
but Mama Kendra thinks I am so fragile, she won't really tell me anything
Aerial says:
yeah I dont know everything myself
Aerial says:
Moms hiding some things for me
Aerial says:
I overheard Natalie talk about the letter
Dancer Girl says:
we'll probably never get the whole story
Dancer Girl says:
I hope your mom is going to be okay
Aerial says:
she cant really use her arms anymore
Dancer Girl says:
Mamma Kendra has been on the sick side herself the past couple of days. We think she has the flu
Aerial says:
Its not the flu
Aerial says:
Mamma did tell me that
Dancer Girl says:
is she expecting?
Aerial says:
yes
Dancer Girl says:
I can't believe it
Aerial says:
the doctors told her she would never have kids of her own
Aerial says:
I think it shows that the doctors dont know it all its in Gods hands
Dancer Girl says:
I wish I felt that way about my MS
Dancer Girl says:
but I feel it's going to take dancing from me
Aerial says:
Not necessarily
Aerial says:
there are differnt forms, you may have a mild form
Dancer Girl says:
that's what they told me, I have a mild form
Aerial says:
it affects everyone differently
Aerial says:
then you will probably be able to dance, you may limp afterwards for a time, and be a little sore, and you will have to be careful not be around people who are sick but you can lead a normal life
Dancer Girl says:
I've never faced anything like this before
Aerial says:
I have MS
Dancer Girl says:
(I wasn't aware for that)
Aerial says:
(Neither was I this thing is having more twists and turns than a ride at Great America)
Aerial says:
Yeah I was diagnosed last year
Dancer Girl says:
I'm speechless
Aerial says:
If you notice, I can still walk and goof off all that stuff, I just have to make sure I get plenty of rest, and eat foods that are healthy for me
Dancer Girl says:
I am enjoying the luxary of eating junk food and being able to gain some wieght
Aerial says:
they also said they could do Chemo because some MS patients respond to it, but I said no thank you, if I dont have to have it I dont want it
Dancer Girl says:
but I still eat pretty healty
Aerial says:
you can eat junk food
Aerial says:
in moderation
Aerial says:
(sean says hi)
Dancer Girl says:
yeah, it's not my whole diet
Aerial says:
me either
Dancer Girl says:
(tell him hello for me)
Aerial says:
you never noticed how I kind of limp when I am fatigued?
Dancer Girl says:
everybody thinks I have an eating disorder
Dancer Girl says:
I had noticed that, I thought maybe you sprained your ankle
Aerial says:
no
Dancer Girl says:
I never would have known if you had not told me
Aerial says:
yeah as I said there are very mild forms and then more severe ones
Dancer Girl says:
I hope it will be the same for me
Dancer Girl says:
but I am already showing signs of the condition
Dancer Girl says:
not so much since I have started getting enough rest and taking care of myself
Aerial says:
yeah my signs are more evident now
Aerial says:
stress pays a factor in that
Aerial says:
plays
Dancer Girl says:
and I am alot less stressed now too
Dancer Girl says:
I still fall at least once a day
Aerial says:
me too
Aerial says:
Usually more, but its something I have learned to live with
Dancer Girl says:
I still get so embarressed
Aerial says:
Besides who am I to complain, I have a little brother whose slowly dying from a disease that is eating at his muscles
Dancer Girl says:
which is why I don't go out often
Aerial says:
yeah I do to
Dancer Girl says:
I'm so skinny and then I fall. People think I am sick
Aerial says:
if you have to use a cane, I have one for my bad days, its really cool, its carved, the handle in the shape of a dog head
Dancer Girl says:
I don't even have a cane
Aerial says:
I have an extra
Aerial says:
and its handcarved too
Dancer Girl says:
I'm just so self concious b.c of being skinny, more than anything
Dancer Girl says:
but I think a cane would help me
Aerial says:
Dont be ppl have no right to Judge
Dancer Girl says:
all my life, at that has mattered was what others thought of me
Dancer Girl says:
if they didn't think I was good, then I couldn't keep dancing, and if I couldn't keep dancing, my parents would disown me
Aerial says:
you need to look at yourself in the eyes of Christ, he loved you enough to die for you
Dancer Girl says:
in many ways, I am having to learn how to live again
Aerial says:
I am too
Dancer Girl says:
but it's for the better this time
Aerial says:
you will love life with Aunt Kendra
Dancer Girl says:
I already have, and it just keeps getting better
Aerial says:
(Btw I have a feeling Susie, and R.R are going to have to come back to the states with Audrey)
Dancer Girl says:
(why?)
Aerial says:
(Because of Bill)
Dancer Girl says:
(we'll see)
Dancer Girl says:
Mike is the one who arranged to have Soda shipped to me
Aerial says:
(Not permanently)
Aerial says:
thats great
Aerial says:
Mike?
Dancer Girl says:
your uncle
Aerial says:
or Micah?
Dancer Girl says:
(didn't Kendra marry a Michael?)
Aerial says:
oh yeah
Aerial says:
duh
Aerial says:
(They wouldnt have to come back permanently)
Aerial says:
(Did you notice that it seems Karen is slowly letting Johnny go?)
Dancer Girl says:
(yeah, I have)
Dancer Girl says:
if it weren't for him, Soda would have been taken to the pound
Dancer Girl says:
and probably put to sleep
Aerial says:
ugh thats not good
Dancer Girl says:
he is supposed to arrive Sunday, we have to pick him up at the airport
Aerial says:
I bet you are excited
Dancer Girl says:
and they are welcoming him w. open arms as well
Aerial says:
they love animals
Dancer Girl says:
yeah, there is quite a zoo here already
Dancer Girl says:
I heard you found out you have a sister recently
Aerial says:
well they have alot of room
Aerial says:
half sister yeah
Dancer Girl says:
well, a sister is a sister
Dancer Girl says:
I wish I had one
Dancer Girl says:
I've noticed one girl here who is very withdrawn
Dancer Girl says:
I think her name is Holly
Aerial says:
yeah I know who you are talking about she was abused too, and then she faced Cancer
Dancer Girl says:
she really keeps to herself, stays in her room most of the time
Dancer Girl says:
won't talk to anyone
Aerial says:
she talks to Rebekka Rachel, but after Rebekka Rachel and Susie tried to kill themselves she closed up
Dancer Girl says:
I don't think she talks to anyone in the house
Dancer Girl says:
I have seen her on occation talk to Kate, but that is rare
Aerial says:
she talks to Aunt Kendra
Aerial says:
she has CP
Aerial says:
nope
Dancer Girl says:
ok
Aerial says:
her real name is Katherine but everyone calls her Kate
Dancer Girl says:
you need to do a profile on Kate then
Aerial says:
I will
Aerial says:
Prolly after I get to visit my baby cousin tomorrow :D
Dancer Girl says:
ok
Dancer Girl says:
I was hoping you would do it tonight
Dancer Girl says:
I worry Holly might resent my coming here
Aerial says:
thats not it she wasnt here at all
Aerial says:
If I can get my computer and my back to cooperate I might do the profile
Dancer Girl says:
:D
Dancer Girl says:
Kate is in a wheel chair, but I don't know why
Dancer Girl says:
I've never been able to get her to talk to me, she's so shy
Aerial says:
She has Cerebral Palsy
Aerial says:
Kate
Aerial says:
her Cerebral Palsy affects her speech
Aerial says:
Married and on her own, you know whats funny, Mom and daughter are having bablies around the same time
Dancer Girl says:
that's true
Aerial says:
my back is starting to hurt me
Dancer Girl says:
do you need to go?
Aerial says:
no I am enjoying talking to you
Dancer Girl says:
ok
Dancer Girl says:
I sometimes feel like everyone resents my being here
Aerial says:
no they dont they all love you
Aerial says:
even Holly has emailed me and said how much she liked having you around shes just having a hard time dealing with all that shes been dealing with
Dancer Girl says:
yeah, I just wasn't sure it was me
Dancer Girl says:
I tried not to take it personally
Aerial says:
no shes having a really tough time
Dancer Girl says:
I wish she would let me in
Aerial says:
in time
Aerial says:
slowly she will
Aerial says:
I know Holly
Aerial says:
it took me a long time
Dancer Girl says:
I've really started to just steer clear of her
Aerial says:
she prolly thinks your mad at her
Aerial says:
her self esteem is very low
Dancer Girl says:
I wasn't having success at being her friend, so I didn't know what to do.
Dancer Girl says:
I thought she resented me, so I decided to stay out of her way
Aerial says:
in case you are wondering about Kate, she has Cerebral Palsy and speech issues, but she is extremly bright
Aerial says:
she has what you call Spastic Quadrapalegia
Dancer Girl says:
oh
Dancer Girl says:
I don't avoid her
Dancer Girl says:
just Holly
Dancer Girl says:
Tyler has been mean to me some.
Dancer Girl says:
he runs up and head butts me and slaps me sometimes
Aerial says:
Tyler is Autistic and he lost his parents in Katrina
Dancer Girl says:
he's even tried to bite me
Aerial says:
I know thats why he goes to that special preschool
Dancer Girl says:
yeah
Dancer Girl says:
Mamma Kendra has explained
Aerial says:
Tyler wont let anyone in he is highly Austic
Dancer Girl says:
I wish if he didn't like me, he would jsut leave me alone
Aerial says:
but what you may not know is that Mamma Kendra had Holly tested and she may have a mild form of Autism, but she is high functioning obviously
Dancer Girl says:
I can see that with her social problems
Aerial says:
its not that he doesnt like you, he relates to peop
Dancer Girl says:
especially after all she has gone through
Aerial says:
its not that Tyler doesnt like you he relates to objects better than ppl
Dancer Girl says:
yeah
Aerial says:
but he has come alot farther than he was
Dancer Girl says:
it's just hard sometimes
Dancer Girl says:
I feel like I have been dropped on another planet sometimes
Aerial says:
you'll get used to it
Dancer Girl says:
you are not going to believe who just bounded through the front door
Aerial says:
who?
Dancer Girl just sent you a nudge.
Dancer Girl says:
SODA
Dancer Girl says:
I guess Mike went to the airport and picked him up.
Dancer Girl says:
as a surprise for me
Aerial says:
I bet you are excited
Aerial says:
Guess who just IMED me?
Dancer Girl says:
it's so great to see him again
Dancer Girl says:
who?
Aerial says:
Kate
Dancer Girl says:
awesome
Dancer Girl says:
see if you can get her to talk about me
Aerial says:
alright
Dancer Girl says:
yeah, I haven't seen Soda in five years if you can believe that
Dancer Girl says:
my aunt and uncle have been taking care of him
Aerial says:
let me finish this email to her, but she will communicare better with you online, its hard to believe shes so young
Dancer Girl says:
going to my house, feeding him, letting him out in the yard
Aerial says:
I bet you are having a blast
Aerial says:
with him
Dancer Girl says:
he's so happy to see me
Dancer Girl says:
and the feeling is mutual
Aerial says:
I bet
Dancer Girl says:
he's lost alot of weight, and he wasn't heavy before I left
Dancer Girl says:
I think he thought I had abandoned him
Aerial says:
What kind of Dog is Soda?
Dancer Girl says:
Siberian Husky
Dancer Girl says:
I think I am going to go. Soda needs to be fed, then I am going to head off to bed
Aerial says:
Kate said she wanted to talk to you
Aerial says:
Are you up to it?
Dancer Girl says:
I'll sleep better having Soda with me.
Dancer Girl says:
sure
