Monday-April,13,2015

Hello folks. I haven't been on here for a long time. By the dates of my journal entries it seems to have been December 2014. I hope all of my friends are hanging in there. I have been thinking of some of you as I see notifications in my emails about your journal entries and pics.

I have been writing a lot and there just isn't enough time in the day to do all I want to. Priorities have to be responded to first and then there isn't time for other things.

Things here has been going okay. I was very proud that my grandson got an award last week for citizenship and one for being on the Honor Roll. I haven't seen my daughter so excited and positive about anything having to do with her son in a long time. If she was one to jump up and down she wouldn't. It was sure nice for a change.

My grandson is still treating his mother very badly. Yelling and demanding her to do things for him. No matter how much his mom, me or the PSR talks to him about this it still continues. My daughter doesn't want to do much with him because he is so horrid to her, she just doesn't want to. I think that is sad.

Well, I will keep this as short as I can. I hope all of you are doing okay and I am doing alright. Nothing really bad going on so I am thankful. I have been feeling pretty good with something do. I enjoy the writing. Some days I don't have much energy, but other ones I do so that is good.
Take care all of you, Eve

I\'m glad to hear that things are going well for you and that you have your writing to keep you busy and that you enjoy it.
That\'s really good news about your grandson making honors and getting that citizenship award, will pray that he starts treating his mother a little better in the near future.
I\'m hanging in there for now, taking one day at a time and getting by so far. I have some good days and some bad like with every other disease but still managing tom work part time which is always a good thing,
Thanks for the update,
Hugs, Jean

Hi hun.

So glad u are keeping busy with your writing and things are going better for u :)

Great news on your grandsons award :) Pray things get easier for u and your daughter and hope your grandson is able to work at treating his mum better in the future. I know it must be so hard for u both and i pray with help he is able to handle his condition too as know what he lives with his hard, but impacts u both so much on top of what u are both dealing with yourselves.

I\'m ok hun. Been very emotional time as been coming to terms with 2 physical health conditions i\'ve just been diagnosed with. But is a relief finding out what i have. Has taken 32 years for me to get answers and with the help/support/encouragement of my mum, sis and friends i have finally received the right diagnosises and under the right specialists. I\'ve always known they were not all in my head so now coming to terms with living with them and getting over the anger/frustration etc at the medical craziness of misdiagnosis and been told it was all in my head including past wrong medications/advice i have been through that have made things worse.

Also i am aware is not just me but my mum and sis who it has impacted majorly. My mum has been my carer for 10 years and now is my full time carer and my sis (who is 27) is helping as need a lot of physical support. I\'m determined to help myself as much as i can to be able to live a good life in spite of these rare chronic syndromes/conditions that have no cure. I\'m also determined to help support my mum and sis and do what i can for them. They have sacrificed so much of their lives to help me and i will never stop showing them how much i appreciate them. So for their sake too i am managing to come to terms with things too and am feeling more at peace now :) Seeing more physical specialists etc to help try and manage things best i can.

I know like u my mum who is also a carer is dealing with her own issues along with what has arisen from being a carer. Same with my sister. So i admire u so much hun too and your daughter, as i know u are helping support your daughter and grandson. I\'m glad u are making time for yourself too to look after u :) That is so important! I am encouraging my mum to do the same too when she can which she is now starting to do which i am thankful for :) As a carer as i know with my mum can majorly impact u as u don\'t have time to deal with yourself and can lose yourself *hugs*

Glad to see an update from u and take care of yourself,

Big hugs. Nisa x
