I'm feeling pretty lousy today but so glad to be home at last and alone and not having to put on a fake smile and pretend I'm normal.
I actually had a lowpain day on the 24th and was able to really enjoy being with my family, so that was a huge gift.
Now I'm waiting for tomorrow... in the hope the pain lessens overnight.
Hugs to everyone,
Ama

Thanks ausie34!

Started anti-biotics yesterday for broncitius n sinus infection. Feeling better today, at least I can breath now w/o coughing.
Pain has been under control for past couple days n i'm happy for that. Know it's just a matter of time, and/ or making a wrong move before it starts up again.Everything I do is calculated ahead of time in order not to upset any of the injured discs in spine.
Best wishes to all for a happy n blessed New Year, may it be filled with peace from 'above'.
hugs n love to all, xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hugs to you all.

Been having migraines off and on all week. Doing inventory all week. Stress of a broken long term relationship isn't helping. Lots of emotions bubbling up. I'm at an angry stage right now and dreading the weekend. He wants to come back and I want to be alone. Phone won't stop ringing, everyone calling (even people who don't know). I started oil painting again and that feels relaxing. Too much emotional and physical pain right now.

Don't want to be needy, but I could use a hug if you got a sec.

Today I need hugs, because in life all I have is DS, people here don;t care about me yet know everything. Maybe I'm a burden?

Yesterday, one of my chief sadistic childhood sexual abusers died (my uncle) and they want to bury him next to the only person who cared for me on the day that she died. (g-ma) I WISH THE OTHER ONE WOULD, MY FATHER!

I'm expected there.. but not going.
Now they want me to write a eulogy. . *tears*

Between the daily chronic pain of migraine and fibromyalgia I'm at breaking point, but what hurts the most is being here alone~ my family are all abusers.

I have to have an MRI done to chart course for second brain surgery ~ I put it off

I have to have a second shoulder surgery. . The first was Sept 20th. I put it off.

I AM OVERWHELMED> and Disabled.

DO YOU NEED A HUG TODAY?

NOW PUT ONE ARM OVER THE OTHER AND SQUEEZE . . .

((((((((((((((((HUGE HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I THINK WE ALL DO. IF I DIDN'T LEARN TO HUG MYSELF AS A KID I WOULD HAVE DIED.

THANK YOU.

ausie, all you'll get here is love. So sit down, wrap one arm over the other across your chest, close your eyes, and know you're LOVED.

We care about you. You are not alone...we're as close as your computer.

Gentle hugs dear.

Well it been a few months. I have a new apartment and still trying to get through all the extra junk I have. It will go to donation. Frankly I am having a hard time getting it done. It has been tough just grocery shopping. I went to my brother's in Ohio for Christmas and took the train which was eight hour ride. I got a disability ticket but they were terrible helping with bags and the getting on was hell. They have a lift but didn't use it. I am proud that I went , it is the first time I planned ahead of time in years. Was green Christmas. Of course when I got home I collapsed and it snowed a lot. So now I am pain and I am having a terrible menstral cycle. Talk about being in a bad mood and hormonal changes. I will have to go to my chiropractor soon to get my body back in place.
I guess I am not feeling well today but am trying to be more positive about life. Looking to trying to get out more. Just going to take it easy until I am feeling less pain, I really need to be around people now and will be trying to find more oppurtunities to be with other and spend less time isolated. Hope to have my scooter by this spring. I am saving up. I tried several times to get it from my insurance but since I can walk they are not going to help me but with not being able to drive or do long walks or have the mobility to get around like I want. The scooter will be great to get to the concerts down at the Lake for concerts and picking up things. I will be trying to loosing weight and I will be doing some walking this winter on the treadmill and using the bike. Have a great New Years I hope my pain is better by then.

HUGS FOR KEESKA AND EVERYONE FOR THE LOVE, SUPPORT AND HUGS. YOUR ALL AMAZING! THANK YOU! ~k
