Dear Dew,
I am so sad for you. Those are such harsh words to hear, and I can understand your heart hurting. My heart hurts for you too. It brought me back to when a new neurologist told me I had generalized or full body RSD. That is when I needed a psychiatrist. He suggested two names, whom I didn't like and found my own. Most Drs. and people in general have not a clue what we go thru and the losses we experience. It's huge, our active, pain free life is taken away. It really takes time to process, and please know I believe you to be very strong and you WILL find meaning in your life. Maybe not what you thought your life would be like, but you can and will have a meaningful life, full of love for your family and love for others whom you will be of great encouragement. It's good you are taking time for yourself to process this as you go thru the legal harang.
Please know my thoughts and prayers are with you. Remember, take time for yourself. Journaling will help you work thru the losses you are facing.
I'm finally over the flu. My immune system is so weak, it took 2-3 months to get over. My RSD Dr. wants me to have the flu shot and swine shot? I'm so scared to. I have never had the flu shot.
I'm still sleeping 10 hrs a night and pain level is down as a result. We sold part of our business and kept part. It's cooling down here. ----high 90's I think 98 this weekend, but doesn't feel that hot.
Laura took me shopping for a dress Friday and attended a wedding Sat. It was nice-on one of the golf courses and nice weather.
I'm feeling much better, flu was really rough and long. Last night I tripped over my laptop cord and went clear across the room to keeping from falling, but fell into another chair. Rug burned hand and purple knee. Nothing broken, just a sore low back, knee and hand. I'm so grateful nothing was broken.
Please know I'm thinking of you every day. Your friend, loretta soft hugs
