Thank God for Mary
Here I sit. Mind so foggy nearly braindead. Pain grips my entire body. Burning, aching, throbbing, shooting, dull, sharp. Overwhelmed with exhaustion. Feet swollen and look like footballs. What would I do without my friend Mary. We had not been close for 6 years when I called her last April and told her about what has happened to me physically and that I could not work anymore, I could not do much of anything anymore. I asked if she still had that spare bedroom and if I could rent it. She said yes and I moved down here from my favorite town in northern Arizona. She knows well I am not a mooch so asked for a very small amount of rent which my mother pays her. Mom will get a big chunk of my SSD backpay for making sure I had somewhere to live since 2007. I worked part-time from 2003 to 2007 and missed alot of work because of this pain and all the restrictions on my body. I worked with pain and all the many other Fibro and Spinal problems for several years, I had to and just did it. It reached a point I could not just do it anymore. Mary knew me as the adventurous, physically and mentally strong, hardworking single mom. I remember that me too. I no longer have a car for the first time since I was 16. She has taken me to all kinds of medical appointments continually and spent money on me buying me good supplements. She doesn't understand what I feel like but she is completely accepting of me and my word is believable to her. She has saved me emotionally from the family members I lived close to. This home is stress free and quiet, thank God for the quiet. She is an angel. I always hope that I am a blessing to her in some way by being here rather than just a burden. I try to be a blessing. When I win the lottery she will share in my riches. Thank God for Mary. Sherry
