I have had some bad days here lately. Not been feeling too good. Well never feel great but for the last 5 or six days i have felt like hell. Everyone on here knows what i am talking about. I get up go through the motions I go to work do whats expected of me but I have to make a special effort to do it. Gosh I just wish for some relief. Now my shoulder is killing me I think I need surgery on it. I had surgery on the right one 4 years ago and now the left one is messed up and it hurts worse than the right shoulder did. Isn't it enough to have the ACM or should I even ask that. I guess I am just tired and whinney today. I will be ok after I get some rest. but still have 36 more hours to work this week then I can rest.

Hey, hope your feeling some better. Do you work 12hr shifts? That is what I work. Just finished 4 in a row, which is why I haven't been on much. I don't have a shoulder injury but know what you mean by going thru the motions, having to make yourself put on foot in front of the other. Some days when the shift is real busy, feel like I am going to collapse, but somehow manage to do it.
Then I do collapse when I get home and it takes me a least 2 days to recooperate. Sometimes I feel like my family thinks I'm lazy, because I don't do too much at home, takes all of my energy just to do what I have to.

I hope you are doing better and getting some much needed rest. Sounds like you take care of everyone else in town. You need some "me" time. Best to you Becky and hope to hear from you again soon!
