OMG Frog is that you? I haven't been over there to AQ for a while. How are you? and how is Mrs. Frog. The pond looks great as always. I remember when the tragidey hit your pond, and then you. I have often wondered about you. Oh dear, I sure hope I'm correct! If not my apoligies. But it looks like the same pond I recall from old?
Yep, this is "Frog"! After a long absence I went back to AQ and of course have branched out to this forum and to Koipen.
Pond wise we converted the pond to support nature. That's the good news. The bad news is poor planning at the very beginning of my pond led to joint failures. As we speak our beloved pond is under reconsturction, meaning a re-line.
Health wise, what a trip! During my treatments for Parkinson's a very caring and brillant physican discovered that I had brain damage that could lead to seizures. Well that wonderful doctor retired and I moved on to a so called high class Neurologists. Fast forward...this guy had be stop taking all meds related to seizures and then informed us that I did not have PD. He surmised that it was all emotional! Within a week I began having seizures to which he stated that I was not having seizures and must be imagining them. We dumped him like a hot rock. Four days after getting a new doctor we learned that I indeed did not have true PD. I have complex partial seizures of the brain (Eplipecy) and a movement disorder called benigh essential tremor. Unforunately, I suffered slight damage to my liver from the PD drugs. I now wear hearing aids due to my military years but the great news is that I feel much better now that I'm on the proper medication.
Mrs. Frog is doing just great and sends her regards. Thanks for remembering us ma'am.

P.S. IMO AQ has lost many members and is a mere shell of what it once was. (do you have any idea why?)
