I thank you my dear friends.... your words mean more than you could ever know.
Yesterday I felt so very alone and I was so very tired of the daily struggles which are only magnified by the pain and isolation. My worst fear is not being able to take care of myself and yesterday just crushed my soul. Food shopping was a fiasco but at least I got dog food but then when I looked at my poor beast I felt even he deserved a better life. He has not had a walk in the woods or a park in a long time and if I do get out for a stumble about my block, the last thing I need is him pulling me along and challenging my balance.
I have been in a tough stretch for many reason and perhaps that only makes the PN worst but emotionally I am slightly more upbeat, pulled along by your compassion and encouragement. "I will get by with a little help from my friends" here.
Forever in gratitude.
