Update on Me...Sorry it's Been So Long
Hey everyone! *HUGS* Wow it's been awhile since I wrote last....don't know of what all has happened since then LOL. Well here's a few things going on with me.
1. Well for starters my muscles are still doing pretty bad - even worse...I got a lump of a swollen cramped up muscle under my chin and I'm getting these cramps - but smaller other areas too...I am getting sores on my skin and my skin is very irritated where the muscles are very tense underneath. It's been very uncomfortable and at sometimes painful. It's mainly all around my head, face and neck...I am so friggin sick of this...went to the doctor and he wants me to get a MRI on my neck to see what's going on...My muscles get real tense and swells a little bit if I'm stressed, moving a lot or in the heat or my body temperature. I am still stressed out all the time and have a hard time letting things go. But I'm hanging in there and hoping I can find out some answers soon and get treatment for it. Still waiting for a call back on scheduling the MRI....grrrrr.
2. Well my therapy is going good, one the best therapists I've had in a long time....but I have only about 2-3 sessions of therapy left so I'm kinda happy and worried about that at the same time. I was able to get a peer mentor at my psych's clinic and I kinda see her as a therapist sometimes too so I guess I'm still gonna have the support...plus I'm gonna see about getting into this wellness center through the clinic where they have mental health classes/groups, etc. I'm gonna be going there today to see a tour of the place and see if I like it. I am still getting very depressed and been feeling hopeless about life or just for no reason in particular. I am trying to stay strong and positive about things...I just get sooo overwhelemed and high strung...lol it sucks.
3. Well my uncle on my dad's side came to visit my family from the east coast last week...didn't get to see him much but he seemed nice. I've never met him before or any of the other family members on my dad's side lol. My dad bought me and Daniel a new flat screen tv and gave me some cash for some new clothes with the money he got from his parents' house being sold in Hawaii....each of his brothers got their share in the money.
4. Kiara is doing better but still hacking some and just....getting old I guess..I can't ever imange not having her...I've had her since I was 12....she's just a sweet dog and my bunnies are doing good too....got to let them out to play more though...it's just been sooo busy with stuff!
5. Kathy (Daniel's step-mom) is moving back to AZ!!!! Yay!!! :-D I am so happy, I missed her so much! I've also been meeting some local ladies online for friendships that live in my area so I'm kinda involved in that and also in a couple meetup groups on meetup.com.......still not having luck with find a close local friend...but maybe it's just supposed to be that way...I guess. I don't know, how any of what I'm doing is gonna turn out in the end but I am still trying and hoping for the best.
6. Daniel's and my Dad's bday is nex month yay :) Gotta figure out what I wanna do for Daniel on his bday :)
So other than that not much is new, just trying to hang in there and take things one day at a time. Thank you to my friends for being there for me and for your amazing support and friendship. I know I haven't been on much but I just want you all to know that I'm thinking of you! I will try to get online more that I have my new laptop :) Big hugs and lots of love to you all!!! I hope everyone is well and having a good day :)

Sounds like a lot of family goings on for you. I only have my daughter and her two kids. No other family. Hope things get better with your muscles. Cramps can hurt so badly. I used to get them in the bottom of my feet after jogging. Ouch!
Hi Sweet Kirsten, It is a pleasure to be your friend. Thank you for being my friend too. I greatly appreciate it. I am so sorry you are experiencing muscle tension and the bump and soreness and sores. That must be very painful and upsetting and my prayers are with you to feel better. I hope that the doctors will be able to find out what is wrong and you will feel better. My prayers are with you. I know you are doing everything you can to help this and I know it can be really hard. It is nice that you have a support system with the therapy. I am sorry that you won\'t be able to see the one therapist you really like a lot but it\'s nice that you still can get therapy with a peer therapist and also classes and have an online support system. It is really neat that you met your Uncle on your dad\'s side and also that your dad gave you money to buy clothes and got you and Daniel a flat screen t.v. I hope and pray that your dog will be alright. She is a very cute dog and I know she is very special. It is nice that Daniel\'s step mom will be moving back to AZ. That will be neat that it will be Daniel and your dad\'s birthday next month. I know you will think of something fun to do. I look forward to hearing about it. My prayers are with you to feel better and I am thinking of you and wishing you well. I am very glad to be your friend, thank you. I hope you will continue to feel well and be better. Hugs and love. I am always thinking of you and wishing you well.
Hi Kirsten, I\'m sorry to hear that your muscles have been bothering you. I hope you get a call back about scheduling the MRI soon. How did it go at the Wellness Center? It sounds like therapy is going well. I\'m glad you got to meet your Uncle and that your Dad gave you some money to buy some new clothes and a flat screen t.v. I\'m happy that Kiara is doing better. It\'s tough to see them get old. Our dog will be 13 years old this July. She\'s slowing down quite a lot and having some difficulty with anxiety and breathing. That\'s great that Daniel\'s Mom is moving back to Arizona. I\'m sure you\'ll plan something nice for Daniel and your Dad\'s birthdays. I hope you will be feeling better soon. Hugs!
Love,
Trisha
