  • I am pretty sure that my days are limited!

    Friday, September 12, 2008 | A Sad story

    I don't know what my future holds or even if I have much time to live but I still want to make the most out of my life.  I had so much pain last night I had to wake my Mom and have her rub cream on my skin besides taking the Tylenol Arthritis and after all this the pain sort of got better and then I could sleep.  I am so very sick and I don't know what to do about it.  If I...

  • I was up all night and most of the morning waiting for the doc to call that was going to do the surgery on Nick's toe.  The nurses finally found out what time the surgery was scheduled for - 2:00 PM.  When I heard that earlier this morning I figured that they would call later and I could catch a nap.  When I was sleeping the anastesialogist called and I missed the call.  I...

  • I woke up today at around 6pm!!!  I can't believe how long I'm sleeping and I went to bed around 11:00pm last night because I was tired.  All I do is sit in the chair and push  a toggle to get me around and I get that exhausted?  So I went into the support groups for the last couple of days to see how many illness's I have had or have and came up with a tally of 53...

    Yesterday was not very good. I did get to work and made it through despite the fatigue that hit at...11Am as always. I wanted to come home and lay down but had to run by the store again..ugh. I got home and did some ph calls and emails and stuff.
    I spoke to my GP in the early evening and, well, needed him to know I am NOT doing well right now and that i am worn out by this.
    I asked him if he has AN...

    Saturday, September 5, 2009 | A Sad story

    It is not even 8 Am and i feel like i am already at my wit's end today. I am sure this will pass in awhile ( these mood swings suck).

Got up early ( between 5-5:30) and by 9:15 was back in bed. usually I just lay on the sofa to rest but today I felt maybe i should go back to bed and actually sleep for awhile and i did ( a few hours and had some odd dreams).

  • A Sad Message Day

    Saturday, November 21, 2009 | A Sad story

    Normally I enjoy being a go between when one whom we all love needs prayer, but toay I'd give a lot to be able to change the message from from our Linda:
    "I have some sad news,
    To report from this end,,
    Dad went to Heaven,
    This Saturday night,
    With the wings of an angel,
    That carried him,
    Towards the light."
    And please remember,
    For who you are,
    And everything you do,
    I truly do love you all.
