Sorry, SunnyBunn, I called you HunnyBunn...maybe it's been a while since someone called you "honey"...I know it's been YEARS since I've heard that!

More hugs (going to light that candle now)

I'm thinking of everyone here who is in need of some caring and support... and sending lots of positive energy and gentle comforting hugs. I hope everyone who is feeling lost and alone and close to despair with their pain can keep reaching out to each other here... because the people on this post really do understand and care. Thanks again David for your vision and ability to see outside the box... you have implemented something of great value. I am still struggling a bit with life issues... but getting closer to being back.
Take care all... Gaye... xxx

Corri,

It sounded really nice. You are right. NO ONE calls me honey or mommy anymore.

Thanks for the words of support.

I have tried every medication know to medicine. None really help. I am used to being very active. The person who fixes projects that are in the red. Vice pres would come in my office and beg me to come and get their project back on track.
Now I am reduced to begging doctors to believe what I say. Oh how the giants have fallen. LOL!
it is so hard to not be busy with work. No one wants a project manager who can't sit thru a 4 hour meeting without needing to stand then sit then lay down flat with a pillow under the knees.
Most people don't realize what a drudge it is to spend all your time at home wishing I could be in work.

I talked with hubby.
Everyone asks if I sell the jewelry that I wear. (I started to learn because I never (other than wedding rings) the same piece twice in the same year. The gifts that I give are always the prized possessions and everyone is jealous.
(Guess I have good taste. LOL)

Think I will find out how to learn to make it so I can sell it. THen I can work on my schedule and make what I like - maybe sell some of the stuff at the bottom of the drawer.

It gives me hope.

Sunny...that's a great idea! I know how tough it can be to stay at home when you want to work. Even though my work causes added pain, it gets me out of the dark place that creeps into my head.

I slept in until 5:00 this morning. Yes...that's really late for me! I guess I was making up for being up most of the previous night. The tradeoff is...I can barely move from the pain of being in one position for such a long stretch.

It's going to be a few hours before I function and we have rain moving in....we all know what that does to folks with CP. Ouchie!

Blessings and hugs,
Cherry

Yep! We are getting rain coming now!!!
I can't wait till it actually rains. Then I usually feel better. Pain meds not working right now.

Good Morning,
Bunny, I can relate some. I'm at home because of my surgery restrictions, my work can't find a place for a supervisor. I still will go to work when needed. Fortunately I have a company truck that they didn't take, so I'm hoping once the restrictions are off I'll be good to go. This CP and the fatigue really hinders all of us.

I feel OK this morning. It takes about an hour now before the muscle pain sets in.

I am privileged to be a part of this group and I'm glad we are keeping this going. It's nice to know I can come here and relate to what's going on.

Hugs to all,
David.

Good morning everyone

((((((((((group hug))))))))))))

woke up with no pain for a change after 4 days of steady pounding. Sending you and sharing all good vibes.

Good Morning,

Had a pretty good weekend it was nice and quite everyone was gone doing things so it flew by for me.

Monday morning and have tons of things I could be doing right now but need to find the enthusiasm to get them done.

I so miss work sometimes and wish I could do something out of the house to make some money for spending and something to make purpose out of my day. It gets so boring of cleaning the same old house and doing the same thing over and over need something with purpose in my life.

I am thinking of taking some college enrichment classes like photography or something like that

Hope everyone has a good day

Manny you should. I know what you are talking about. I took a couple years off and I could feel myself getting in a rut. It seems like at get more done at home when I'm working. It hard to find the energy when you are at home all day. I think it's a great ideal and I hope it works out for you. Hugs

Hi everyone,

Corri, I wanted to tell you how sorry I am that you lost your beloved dog. I have had several special dog companions die over the years and their loss was significant in my life. So I wanted you to know that you are in my thoughts.


Hugs to everyone! Cathy

Those enrichment classes are pretty good. There is one at the local universtiy about how to start a business. It is ALL on-line though. I really need to get out of the house and see people to talk to. I know that is part of the problem.

I will take it if that is the onlly way to learn about starting a business.

I feel so stupid. I ran multi-billion dollar projects, got them back on track and KNOW NOTHING about what needs doing to start a business. Can you say OVER EDUCATED??? LOL!

Thanks for being here everyone when I was down and really needed someone. You all have no idea what it meant to me to find people who understand.

Hi there, not having a great day today. The long drive yesterday took its tole on me and I'm paying for it now. Got up in pain and tried to do a few things but it just got worse. Had to dip into the breakthrough meds by 1:00 pm but its not really helping so I'm just laying low and trying to relax. It was great to see all my relatives yesterday though and the new baby, he's such a sweetheart. I got to feed him for the first time; he's such a good baby. Hard to believe he's 4 wks old today.

Hope everyone is having a nice day. Hugs and peace to all,
Lisa

I'm dreaming of a place where there is no need for BT meds, no clock to watch for the next dose of meds to keep the pain at bay, no more pee cups, and real freedom from pain.

What will it be like?
Heaven!

I am blessed because it is our watering day and I had dr. appts this morning so my neighbor watered my lawn for me.

((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((HUGS))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

BLESSINGS AND LOW PAIN DAY
