Thanks for the response.

I had plans yesterday to get a few things done today. I told Susan to come over and we'd do them. I got up this morning and left a message on her cell phone that I wanted to wait until next week to get them done.

Tonight I have the sleep study and I know I will have to force myself to go out the door. Too bad we can't kick our own butts out the door. LOL

Kejbrew, I know it has to be harder on men to go through this. I couldn't get Bill to wear his oxygen before he passed away. He always had this attitude that he was the man of the house and had to take care of his family. He couldn't accept the shape he was in.

We do look normal, at least most of us do. Like you, I never slowed down until I got sick. I loved to go to parties, get togethers, go to work, being around people and I can't stand to do any of that now. My kids are always inviting me to do things with them and I try to let them down gently.

Flippnout, by the way, that should be my name. LOL From what you are saying you had a sympethemy right? Do you think that's the reason for your
not being able to do things. Does this have something to do with the sympethic nervous system with the RSD?

I hate being the way I am with this. I really thought mine was due to the depression but I don't know. I know a lot of you say you don't deal with depression though.

what bothers me is how I make others feel when I miss an appt. or don't go somewhere I was suppose to go or do something I was suppose to do. I always worry that they feel I don't keep my word. I hate that part. I wasn't like this when I was well.

Thanks,
Ada
