  • I don't feel very well today!!

    Wednesday, October 15, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    Well I have a new disease to get used to.  I went out for two days (how exhausting can it be to push on a toggle to run an electric wheelchair?) and then slept for two days.  Between the MS,  the Fybro,  and now the Addison's all are supposed to cause fatigue and that's what happened.  I am worried about getting the tooth pulled because that is surgery in a way an...

  • What is there to pray for? More illness and suffering?

    Sunday, October 26, 2008 | A Frustrating story

    I don't know what there is to pray for anymore.  I have an aquaintence on here that was in the same or more pain that I was in before I got the pump.  She was so happy because I had sent her  a message with Medtronic's phone numbers on it and told her to call at least on of the numbers and they would give her a doc's name that implanted it in her area.  She has kid...

  • 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 feel like sleeping beauty - just waiting for the frog (prince)!

    Thursday, October 16, 2008 | A Frustrating story
