  • Painful but Hopeful

    Tuesday, May 13, 2008 | A Painful story

    Dearest Friends ~ Today is the first day I return to work and the truth be known; I’m probably not ready to go back.  It’s 3:09 am and I’m hurting enough to wake me from my sleep for the second time tonight.  The second drain we were planning to remove has to now stay in because the drainage has increased again.  My lifting weight restriction is 5 lbs.  Am ta...

    Wednesday, June 18, 2008 | A Painful story

                        Do you know what it's like to watch you kill yourself night after night,and not be able to do a thing about it? You stumble around with exhaustion from 11 hrs a day in the scortching heat and come home and mix it with 2-4 Scotches a night, stumbeling to bed  when y...

  • OH MY ACHING GUT!

    Wednesday, October 29, 2008 | A Painful story

    Mentally, I'm still feeling alright. Physically though, my gut's a mess from overindulging yesterday.
    My husband took me, my daughter & my parents out in celebration of my birthday to the Chinese buffet I had requested. I ALWAYS overdo it there, and since I wasn't able to purge it all immediately afterwards, I am suffering the consequences today. TRYING not...

  • Faith In The Knife

    Monday, November 17, 2008

    It's getting colder
    Each and everyday
    The nights get longer
    I slowly fade
    Find me some beauty
    In this empty place
    Before you know it
    I'll be gone without a trace
    Give me a reason to
    Wake up and face the light
    I've been searching for
    A way out of this life
    How will I make it through,
    This long and bitter night?
    (With no hope that I'll find a sign)
    (No hope that I'll find a sign)
    When things li...

  • My Heinze

    Sunday, March 22, 2009 | A Painful story

    My Heinze is dying.  He has been having little strokes or seizures.
    The vet says it is sometimes hard to tell the difference - they have been coming more often and Thursday night was the worst one.  He's having trouble walking and he is not eating at all today - he won't even eat liverwurst or bacon.  
    I am praynig so hard but hes not going to get better - he's almost 14 ...

  • Shadow on the wall/ Breaking thru

    Thursday, April 30, 2009 | A Painful story

    Is that my shadow on the wall?
    Or is that really me at all.
    I struggle so to see the truth---
    In bygone days and loss of youth.
    I write with ink upon the page,
    And see such sadness and such rage.
    I don't know what to tackle here---
    To stand up tall
    Or disappear.
    Is that me, still insecure,
    Wondering what I can endure?
    Is there hope for what is yet to be?
    Will I ever be content with me.
    I' m not a numb...

  • In a bad funk...

    Thursday, September 3, 2009 | A Painful story

    I have not been able to write  much in my journal lately. My feelings are all over the place and I have been having pain to boot (pain triggers depression, ocd, anger, and anxiety for me). Lately my thoughts have been turning to death and I am trying hard to focus my mind on positive things because I know that usually works for me. But lately it has been harder to do.
    The OCD is stirring up s...

    Saturday, September 19, 2009 | A Painful story
