Friday
 

Tired . . . have worked two tweleves (today and yesterday). Feels like I have walked in circles and got nothing done at work. I have managed to sleep a little better, but I am still tired when I wake up. I am glad that I am off tomorrow.

Hi, ResQGal...
Yup, a pair of twelvers will do the number on a body... so, take advantage of the weekend and rest up. From what I see on the weather map, you oughta have some pretty weather on Saturday, with a little chance of some wetsiveness as the weekend slides on. One good thing about working long hours is you're usually pretty tired afterwards, so sleep should come easy to you; I hope it does, ResQGal... you deserve a good night's rest. http://www.v6power.net/vb/images/smilies/msmiley1.gif

Well, the weekend has me thinking about what's going to come next... Thursday afternoon I saw the Orthopedic Surgeon for an ongoing follow-up on my lumbar spine surgery... he looked at my entire spine, and focused on some cervical issues I've been enduring... he ordered some X-Rays to compare with those from a couple of years ago. He decided that my wretched neck warranted a further look with an MRI scan. So, I'm left wondering and worrying this weekend about what's going to greet me when the results come back... http://www.v6power.net/vb/images/smilies/uhh00000.gif

Why can't the future ever have something to anticipate instead of something to dread? http://www.v6power.net/vb/images/smilies/sad00000.gif

well it's saturday now. i hope you both got some good rest.

i boxed books yesterday and hauled stuff over to the parents... i'm beat. my rest is not great lately. stress city. every day i wish i weren't... why do we go there. can we please not go there? can i not go there any more for a bit? that too. :( peace of mind. come hither.

wednesday i broke down when i finally saw my pdoc after 5 weeks. i cried so much he couldnt' understand what i was saying that was when i was still able to choke words out. :( last night again when i dustbusted and boxed all my stuffed animals for their new abode in my parents' garage. and here and there and everywhere... it hits me.

ponyboy i had no idea of all the spiney stuff you've been through - just read your sig. i'm sowwy. :o i do hope the tests check out ok.

resq, i'm glad to see you posting. i hope you have recovered some. i don't feel i can make more suggestions - kinda don't feel like i have the picture really, you know? But i want for you to find the space to be, just be... whatever that entails, and to look after yourself just as you do those you resq.

Resq... I hope you've gotten some rest... :)

Ponyboy... Sending you my best wishes for good news, and something to look forward to... :)

Waves... Sounds like you're going through a pretty trying time. But I can tell that you're fighting back, and I really hope you win! Good luck... :)
