Thanks guys!

The tattoo still needs some shading (when I can afford it). It's thinner around the back of my neck.
It didn't hurt (but then again, I don't have a lot of feeling from the MS). I actually could have fallen asleep... I had the warm fuzzies from the base of my spine up my neck.

Thanks for saying I'm pretty, even if you can only see my chin

I like to think that by giving me MS, it was God's way of telling me that I had taken care of enough people and it was time to start taking care of myself.

I find it very difficult to give up control. I do not get very much support from my husband at home. I still have control over many things, just not most of my body.
I've posted before about getting piercings and that whopping neck tattoo as a way to trying to take some sort of control over my body. I'll have to post a pic of that neck tattoo!

I'm sure that there are other religious readings for your faith outside of the bible. If faith is your corner stone, turn back to it as often as you can.

With love,
Kay
the tattoo is so gorgeous....what a special gift you gave to yourself...sorry i didn't answer sooner..i was offline until just now...a cable fell off my monitor and i didn't know it and then had a hard time attaching it when a friend told me last night that was the problem.
i had a major breakthru for why i punish myself so much....i have finally forgiven myself that i am bipolar and can not accomplish the things that i want to accomplish and felt i should be able to accomplish and instead fail at...when i fail at them, i beat myself up...so simple...after all these years...i figured it out.....wow
love
bobby too strung out to write more...later

I am so happy that you have made such a break-though Bobby!!!!!

You may still need to remind yourself at times, but you've made such a giant step in the right direction!!!!

I'm so proud of and happy for you!


Kay

P.S. what do you mean by strung out?

i am so mentally exhausted. I am physically exhausted too. everything is one huge effort. I have to return thecomputer but a neighbor said she would help me. A friend told me that ups could pick it up. I didn't know that. I have been screwing up with the state sales tax --i didn't know i had to pay it so that is one huge mess and a scarey one. my girlfriend scared me about my teeth and my procrastination. i just want to collapse.....

Dear Bobby,

Take one step at a time. You can handle those things you list. They are not fun, but you can get them done. For me sometimes I to do these kinds of things with no feeling or attachments to them. I get them done and move on to the next thing. OK. I'm not good at this yet, but for certain things I can do it. I've been practicing, you might say.

I'm sorry that you are having a hard time. Can you get the friend's accountant person to do it for you? That might be an easy job for someone who is used to dealing with it.

M.
