Painful Stories

  • April 4, Friday, 7:57 pm, 2008 - Heart in Vice

    Friday, April 4, 2008 | A Painful story

    Short one tonight.  Been tired all day.  Still catching up from the excitement of the nosebleed yesterday.  Sometimes I just feel like a dying person must feel, like I'm shrinking or melting like the witch in the Wizard of Oz.  Had one of those nights last night where even the relaxation tapes didn't help and I got up and went out and sat at my living room table and ba...

  • I'm afraid

    Sunday, April 6, 2008 | A Painful story

    Both my feet are swollen and my finger on my left hand seems to constantly stay stiff. I'm not sure what happened.  It was like 6 months ago, I was in a little pain, but I was able to move. Now I get up and can hardly walk some days.
    I'm so afraid and so the past few weeks since finding out, I have pretty much become a recluse and shurt myself up other than going to work. 
    I just...

  • Aw crap!

    Friday, April 25, 2008 | A Painful story

    Well, all hell has broken loose. I feel like I'm shooting down the rapids on a trash can lid, holding on for dear life. Nothing like being betrayed by your life partner when you are on your death bed. He ruined my credit and somehow got an $80,000 mortgage on our house while I was incapacited. Now he is trying to plan vacations we can't afford, and he's not paying bills...

    Sunday, June 1, 2008 | A Painful story

    OK, this is one of my worst nightmares.  Got up this morning after a night of more back pain and even knee pain now bad enough that I heated up the microwave heating pad to put on them.  Then first trip to the bathroom this morning I'm fairly certain I saw blood in my stool.  Bright red blood.  This is supposed to be one of the scariest things to happen because it means an...

    Friday, October 24, 2008 | A Painful story

    Whew where do I start?!  I had to face my fears head on and I am still in a state of awe from it all.  We are so frail and we have no clue to how frail we truly are.  I almost have so much going through my head that I can't wrap my mind around any one thing right now. 
    I have received a ton of emails and comments and thank you guys so much!  To my prayer warriors!&nbs...
