OT: Whining...

Hi, I'm in need of prayers and support from my quilting buddies. I'm sick, really sick. I've pretty much stayed in bed for huge chunks of the day for the past week or so. I keep trying to rally and get up and do something amazing, but it's not working. My hair is falling out in chunks and strands. I've lost about half my hair in the past three weeks -- if I didn't have really thick hair to start with I'd have scalp showing by now, and I'm close as it is. Joints are really in pain. Balance is weird and I just feel weak, like maybe my arm might not support something I'm holding in my hand (and sometimes it doesn't). I don't feel like eating and when I do eat, it makes me nauseous. When I don't eat, same thing.

Going to the doctor tomorrow, but I don't expect much. I have lost 10 pounds over the past month or six weeks, but when he puts me on huge doses of prednisone, that's going to change. Bah. I'm just so tired. I can't even think about fabric. I can't plan anything, work on anything, cut fabric. I have tried to work on my crazy quilt, but I'm too tired to do that even.

My dh is worried and tired of worrying and frustrated. I'm just fed up. I need my energy, even what little I usually have.

So if you've got prayers and good thoughts and candles to light and just plain ol' love, I could use some. Sunny

Dearest Sunny, you have all the prayers I can muster. It's awful to feel so bad. I know how soul destroying it can feel not to have the energy to do anything except breathe in and out, and sometimes even that can seem more effort than it is worth.

But you are doing as much as you can. Be gentle to, and with, yourself. Allow this to be as it is, and just be. It's so easy for us busy ones to set ourselves up for a fail, and we waste so much energy on trying to wear our knickers on the outside. I don't say give up, no indeedy. I just say take a break, and take it gently.

And know that you are surrounded by love.

My thoughts are for your DH as well.

You are NOT whining! You are ill. And frustrated. And scared. And lonely. But you have many, many people who care about you, send their hugs and prayers, and best wishes, too! If we were all there in person your husband would go stark raving bananas and need to throw us all out, but we would keep on coming in (through windows if necessary!)

As to "what to do" while you are waiting to feel better, have you considered LISTENING to some books? They're really very good, and widely available now both in public libraries and book stores. The selections are excellent these days, and you can escape somewhere without leaving the sofa.
