Please give me strength Mood

I am & have been in survival mode. I am tired of being tired & being in pain. I hardly get anything done. I have canceled lots of appts due to the pain. Today I could'nt even go to PT due to the pain. The best thing is when I woke up my 2 white kitties where snuggled in bed with me. They follow me around & cry when I I close the door to go to the bathroom. They are soo sweet. They seem to understand that I am hurting ! I am so happy I have them !

    Hon, my mom went thru something similar, today...b/c of her lupus, her rosacea had been really terrible on her face & back. Today, she made an appt. to see her g.p., who confirmed that she was having a bad attack; thing was, she didn't want me in the room w/her (tho, I usu. come in to help her up/down fr. chairs, if she needs it)...she told us after the appt. that she also talked to her dr. about the possibility of alzheimers..she didn't exactly pass all of the tests, but the g.p. complimented her on her good attitude, as far as her lupus & DISH conditions were concerned...she also admitted to me, afterwards, that she had been dreading the appt. and had nearly canceled it--not just b/c of alzheimer's fears, but b/c she was hurting so bad & felt so tired and dispirited. Things is, Laura, don't beat up on yourself--you fully know that you are in pain b/c something's wrong...you don't have to exoke confirmations from people about this: they should take your word for it. As Mom went on to say, "Why would I want people to believe that I was having a bad day, every day, unless it were sadly true? There are too many other nice things to do than that--like gossiping about our weird neighbors! Things is, I have conditions, and I am in a lot of pain. That's the sad truth of it." And, of course, our pets are smarter than humans...they know when a fellow being is in discomfort! Now, I worry about the possibility of alzheimers for Mom, as well as everything else...but, isn't that why we're all here? To share even the sad stuff? Laura, you take care..you are in my prayers for a more restful time...you really deserve it!

    I'm glad you have your kittens. I don't know what I would do without my dog and two cats. They love me no matter how bad I feel and they can sense when I need some extra love. Hope you are feeling better soon! take care, Martha
