quiet day
Gang,
Today has seemed rather quiet to me, but maybe it is just me.
Jan how are you doing today? How is the pain and the pain pills? I hope
some better. Sometimes I think it would be good to just lock us both up
together and we could moan and carry on as much as we wanted.
Babs are you feeling better? Was your problem due to a high or what? food?
Iris it has been so good to hear a little more from you today. I know there
are days you just can’t make yourself respond. The pain I know is something
you have to live with, and the depression. But I know it helps when you can
have a couple days the pain is not so bad. Hope you can start having more
good days than bad.
Well I got started on antibiotic this evening for bladder inf. And as you
all know it is just one more pill to take and one more pain to tolerate.
This is a really weird evening for me. I feel, I don’t know what the word
is, maybe melancoly. I don’t know, not really depressed. Just I feel so
much for all of us struggling together, so far apart. Doggone it, we
deserve days where we feel good and are able to do things we enjoy. But for
some of us it is so seldom.
I had a gentleman over last night that is going to start taekwondo lessons
for members of our church. He has been telling me he will modify them for
me. I will try, but I could tell last night he has not idea what my body
cannot do or what it is like. So many think if we start exercising all of
it will come back, we are just out of shape. Not so, alot of what we have
lost is gone, no matter what we do.
Didn’t aim for this to be a dower or so long. Hope it does not offend or
depress any one.

I take the pain pills then sleep 2-3 or more hours. I’ve had 3 naps today. I
can’t take any pills tomorrow since I have to drive myself for that bone
scan - 2X. Go at 9:45 a.m. for an injection then I think it’s 3 hours later
I go back for the scan.
I have an athletic injury from Notre Dame University! haha
About 10 years ago we had put on a health fair and were closing down. I was
walking back to the DM booth and a Hummer was leaving - I warned some people
to get out of the way and I hopped aside. Immediately I felt a *bullet* in
my calf. WOWEEEE did that hurt!!! We had only popsicles left from the event
and that was the only ice we could use. Of course all the medical people had
left. I had to drive home with that leg while holding popsicles dripping
off! Three weeks later the same thing happened as I only made a turn to get
something. A heartologist told me that it was a tendon tearing nicks in it
and that I shouldn’t play tennis but to hire someone. Well, that probably
means no brisk walking, either. With the way my back always gives me
trouble - like when I walk the spine between my wings feels like it is
jarring together and really hurts. Therefore, I don’t get much exercise.

Gail, I kind of know what you are talking about when you say you are
just ….well, I at times feel the same way. People say to me you
aredown what is wrong. i really am not down I just am tired of hurting
and they do not want to hear about it. People in general do not really
care it is just something to say. I realize this!@! One thing though that
I think is so true is that we on the list have gone through a lot of
different things and can identify with each others feelings. There are a
few who have unsubsribed for various reasons but those of us who have
stayed on the list realize the importance of venting, crying, laughing,
and truely caring about each one of our feelings. I can not remember who
said it but way back when I started about a year ago someone said if you
don’t like what you hear you can just delete it but at least the poster
can get it off his or her chest. This is so true. It would be fun to
get together and really have a good hug, cry, laugh, and knowledge that
there is a face to the finger writing. I know that SA is a long ways or
Holland, or Brazil, or Ireland, or Australia. But it could be worth it.
Thank goodness for the air space. Have a great day and keep your chin
up. Becki

Gail,
Is it sort of a lethargic, nothing matters day? Don’t care here nor there?
