Terminal illness support group Community Group
This group is open to all who have been diagnosed with a terminal illness. It is a safe haven where you can vent, cry, laugh, or simply sit back and read and gain inspiration from daily posts. You will make many friends here as we journey together. This is a place where hope will be offered on a daily basis. When you can go no further this group will help carry you...
I have really been doing a lot outdoors lately and loving every minute of it.
Usually I have trouble sleeping & can't fall asleep until around 3am, but then i sleep until 10am so i figure that is my body so go with the flow (took me awhile to realize that being retired i don't "need' to be on everyone else schedule LOL)
the past few days I have slept until noon & 1pm though!
odd.
Then last night i actually fell asleep at midnight & got a good deep sleep. Which i woke up at normal time of 10am.
As I sit here drinking my coffee,(it's noon thirty now) i just feel blah and have no oomph, my muscles are achy & my skin feels crawly
My lungs seem to be moving air (i have stethoscope) and no fever or anything so i'm sure it's just overwork & i need to rest for the weekend.
I have my normal monthly PCP check up on Tuesday so that is 'covered'.
So i guess this is just a "vent" that i i seemed to have gone from the "energizer bunny'' to cheapo ''battery bunny''.....I guess even people without a disease get slowed down with age; mom always said, "getting old isn't for sissies" so i guess i better not whine.
odd that i don't know if it is disease slowing me down or old age. (i'm only 59, but my mind still feels like i am in 20's LOL)

You also included some positive remarks while you were venting. I like the "only 59" remark but you enhanced it further by saying that your mind still feels like you are in your 20's.
You are on the right track ,perhaps you are just starting to learn to slow down as you approach the different twists and turns of your journey throughout your lifetime.

I got a call last night from a friend I haven't seen for 15 or so years. I've known him since i was 13 or 14 years old & we keep in touch by phone as he lives in alabama now (a bit far from utah)
anyway, he's visiting family in arizona & california & is dropping by for a couple of days to see me.
I'm really looking forward to "catching up" in person.
Ah, good things are always just a step away :)
Also, I feel better today---methinks maybe I was just overdoing things & my body said "time to rest" --- I'm just so happy to have nice weather I want to do EVERYTHING outdoorsy i can. :)
I hope everyone else is doing well.
Oh, and I am figuring out these bigger 02 tanks I need for my increased 02 needs so that is good too :)
good for you to get company. I get so tired of talking to myself. have a nice visit
no exasperation so that is wonderful!
YAY
I know i'm boring when i'm are telling a really good story to my dog & she starts snoring LOL---such an insult :)
