Debi,
 

First of all; happy to learn all went well with your Mom. Especially glad you had a very nice trip with time to share both happy and sad times with those close to you and Bubba.

Your faith in God is something that will be so helpful in days, weeks and years to come. He is such a good listener.

This is all so new yet; but tho you will never forget; you will learn to make each day count. The fact that you were able to make this trip with both physical and emotional pain, shows what a "trooper" you are. I believe you will be amazed how well you will handle both the "ups" and "downs".

Hi Debi
 

hi debi. i just wanted you to know i was thinking of you and am praying that you are feeling a little better today. i hope you have a really nice day. i am sending healing thoughts and hugs your way.

Sweet RSE ME :)
 

Thank you so much for this message...could not have come at a better time as I was looking at YOUR post on being lonely and as I'm not feeling too well I'm missing him a lot....he would be calling from work all day long asking how I was and if I needed anything.

The weather is really wreaking havoc with my SFN....I'm miserable and in a lot of pain. Can't wait for the sun to shine again ! I need that beautiful sunshine.

Debi, I can relate to the weather related pain. My MS acts up when it rains and gets damp and cool like it is right now. My balance is terrible.......if you didn't know me you'd certainly think I'd been drinking! :o

I know feeling puny just adds to your other feelings of sadness. The weather can affect our moods so much.....at least mine it does. The change of seasons always makes me a little lonely. I have no idea why or what the corelation is between that and how I feel. :confused: That first year everything bothered me.......but it gets better as time passes.

I hope you feel better soon. Maybe your daughter can make you some soup. That always seems to make me feel better. My Dad would always say "it's gettin' to be soup weather" when the weather turned cooler. :)

Take care of yourself. :hug:

Hey Kitty
 

It's funny you say that because my daughter has 2 crock pots going in my kitchen right now....lol.....2 beef roasts with 2 different recipes.....she's the crazy chef in our lives....I'm just the regular southern cook (when I can cook). I want to get better so I can at least start dinner before they get off work. We've decided for the short term we are all eating together....Luke is getting a divorce and I've lost Bubba so we're either here each night or at Christina's...there is only one house between ours and hers.

I've just got out of the shower and that really takes a toll on me. Something about the bottom of the tub my feet don't like. I just feel terrible....like I have the flu all over my body. I have so much to do in this house but I just don't feel like it right now.

Talk with you soon. :hug:

Debi,
 

It appears all of you have a real good set up for dinner (your daughter is a "doll") taking care of most of the cooking. I've got a feeling it won't be long before you are getting dinner started.

I have a shower; but the floor really aggravates the bottom of my feet too. Most tubs have the little rough area to prevent slipping; pretty much causing the same reaction. (Actually, I took a bit of a nose dive last night when going into the kitchen to get my meds; my feet had been burning so I was wearing my soft slippers adjusted loosely. One foot came out of the slipper which remained behind. The rest is history. Luckily just a little sore; but am okay.)

Unfortunately, with all you have been through and feeling as you do; getting the house in order understandably has not been a priority.


Gerry

Oh no Gerry !
 

I was just a bit sore this a.m.; but am fine. I'm telling you; just can't trust these things staying on.

Hi Debi,

I am playing catch up on posts and am so glad you got to the beach! It sounds like it was much needed respite, even if bittersweet on the return.

You have been much on my heart lately. My husband is only out of town for a couple of weeks, but I miss him and because of your loss have kept thinking "Gosh, what if this was forever". I think of what you are going through and wish, wish, wish I could hug it all away. Yet I know that your pain is a testament to your love for him.

Thank you for continuing to share with us. You are reminding me to cherish every moment.

Sending love and peace, :hug:
