A Little Bit of Good bye
 

I've been having such a hard time of the pain that I think I need to go back to what I did last year, and just hibernate and take a break from the Board. It is such a Catch-22 that the one place I get support is also the one place where I keep hurting myself by sitting here too long...

But please PM me if you really need a friend.

God bless and see you next year!!! :grouphug:

Tam if you need NYTHING AT ALL YOU KNOW HOW TO REACH ME!!! i AAM THERE FOR YOU ANY TIME mARK

Tam Hope you are feeling better. Come back when you can, Linda

(((((tam)))))
 

Hun, please take extra-good care of yourself. BABY YOU!!! It's the only way to break the pain cycle.

We will miss your presence here - hope you can at least lurk from time to time.

Much love to you,
Anne

keep in touch
 

Hi Tam,

please know I am here for you at anytime! PM or email me. Love and hugs for the year my dear!!

love and hugs for now too,
Victoria:hug:

Take care and hope to see you back soon! We will miss having you around.

Tam, I want to thank you. You provide so much valuable information on the board and you are so willing to share. I really appreciate that. I do hope you are using a voice software. Rest easy and I'll look forward to your return when your health allows.

Hi Tam,

I am glad you are going to take the time to rest as best you can during this stressful time of year. I suspect it will be getting pretty cold in the desert, so I hope you will be able to protect yourself from those triggers as well.

I am trying, ever so slowly, to get my 'stuff' together as it all goes to Calif. and shipping dates are closing FAST. I find this is very difficult and wish I could enjoy this time of year as I used to.

When I have managed to complete the urgent stuff, I will give you a short call and will have a list of your questions so I can just give you answers without talking too long on the phone. (I think I might find a extra headset for you...I know I have a bunch around somewhere)!! I have way more than I need and you really MUST have one. It will rock your telephonic world!

In the meantime, you are daily in my thoughts and I do hope this 'phase' of your health improves and life is something you can enjoy again. It is in you, the pain is just a distraction.

Love,
Anne:hug:

Tam, thanks for everything!!!! We're all already looking forward to your return!!!! Take care of yourself and don't forget about that speech recognition software, though, as I well know, it isn't perfect and one still ends up typing or using a mouse/touchpad! Take care!:hug:

Tam - thank you for all of your help and advice! I hope you're able to get some control over your pain. I hope to see you posting again soon.

Tamara.......Please rest and do whatever you can to try to get a hold of your pain. You've been a comfort and an educational resource for so many here. Take care of yourself.

Hay i hope that some rest will do the trick for you hope it doesn't take to long and when you come back take it easy set a time limit then sign off so that you wont get so sore. I know some times its hard to sign off because there is just so much to read and say. But for my self i limit myself to read twice a week and i try to write something once a week but i don't always because of the pain. You will be missed well your resting and i hope you have a merry xmas and a happy new year.

Everything us TOSer's like to do TOS intercepts and drains our emotions and increases pain.

A wise ole friend told me, "if you enjoy it, then do it as long as it doesn't create more stress. We have lost our motherhood, housewife, childlike persona, our careers, pleasures, participating in sports, cooking, gardening, art, etc..."

It's unfair to ourselves to take away such a pleasure at a moderation. Whats that we all say. We each have our own tolerance.

We are going to have pain no matter what we do in life 24/7 even reaching for a white vest with a fur collar that catches ones eye once in a life time to try it on. Thats why I dont go shopping for me. It hurts. Have to focus on what I can do with limitations.

I know its hard and by all means I'm the worst at getting frustrated of all the life changes and challenges, for us all.

tam- we'll miss you, please come back when you can.

hugs
