Meeting Minutes July 5th & 19th 2014


July 5, 2014. 

Ice Breaker:  What is the one thing you would do if your illness would magically allow it?

Some of the answers?  Folk dancing, “be with my son more”, travel, painting/drawing, going to the beach, “get a boyfriend”, skydive

Topic:  Boundaries – what worked 10 or 20 years ago may no longer work.  We are constantly changing and growing.  How do we set a new boundary in a way that we can get our needs met thereby decreasing stress on our body, spirit and mind?

For more on this topic, please read the latest blog entitled "Setting Healthy Boundaries"

OTHER TOPICS DISCUSSED: 

One member may take a defensive driving course to help decrease distractions (increase focus)

One member has a letter from doctor stating that they are unable to perform DWI checks relating to loss of balance due to illness.

One member states her doctor recently asked her “why does your husband come to every appointment?”And the answer was “because I can’t drive!” The doctor really seemed surprised!

One member questioned if the doctors have the ability to send in some kind of paperwork to take a driver’s license away?
