OT: Why now? Sick again

Sending healing hugs through the cyber-airwaves for support during this time.

{{{{{{Sunny}}}}}}

G> I'm so tired of waking up sick, really sick. Probably lungs again.

Hugs, prayers, and healing thoughts are on their way! ME-Judy

Stop it! Just STOP IT! Enuf of that getting sick! YOU have had more than your share. enuf already.

Now STOP worrying on Mom....you MUST take care of YOURSELF FIRST and FOREMOST. ((This is a DIRECT QUOTE from my mom when she was dying in the hospital and I was about to have that last back procedure. Yes, I missed the funeral, but she knew what I was doing..and that was the most important thing. ))

Now, scooch over and make room for someone that woke up with severe muscle/neck/shoulder spasms on Tues (I was fine at 2 AM and couldn't move at

5:45 AM!)....same day as Pain Dr Appt...went to Dr got shotted up--went to Neurologist on Thurs and got one more shot in the Occipital Nerve in the back of my head (ouch!) for Occipital Neuralgia on Friday; but they have helped! Still going slow but I can move my head a bit more today. My Fam Dr called yesterday (YES, on Saturday!) to see if I was any better.

In 6 weeks, we (Pain Dr, Fam Dr, and I) decide if we go the 3/4 months shots routine to see if I can get off or go to a lower dose of the heavy pain meds or not. In the meantime, it's back to PT for me starting this Wed...to see if there are a few 'new' things I may be able to do. I almost wrote this yesterday but I just needed another day of quiet.

Very Gentle Hugs Butterfly (Now, take this crying towel and dry your tears...have a good nose clearing and GET BETTER. Take your trip when YOU can on YOUR schedule. I'm thinking there's such a thing as 'stand by' plane tickets: buy now, go when you can/need)

Sending prayers and good thoughts your way that this is a temporary setback and you'll be feeling better when it's time to leave for Arizona.

Big Hugs to you Sunny. I hope you feel better quick! I'm sorry to hear about your mom. My dad is currently going through a third round of chemo for small cell lung cancer. Prayers are being sent to you my dear.

Sunny, where in AZ will you be? Maybe we can manage a RCTQ visit of some sort. Especially to get a bit of a break from the problems.

Hang > I'm so tired of waking up sick, really sick. Probably lungs again.

Oh, Sunny, what rotten luck you're having! I hope you're feeling lots better very quickly and that your trip to Arizona will be emotionally rewarding.

Oh Sunny.....I wish I could wave a magic wand over you and cast a healing spell! Where is Nightmist when we need her???? :-) Take care of yourself and give yourself some time to feel bummed. You deserve it. But looking back....I'm so glad you got to take your class recently.

Sunny, I am sorrier than I can say. You are going through an ordeal, and being sick on top of it makes things worse. Sending prayers, hugs, and wellness thoughts!

I'm so sorry you are sick at such a critical time. Are you able to talk with your mother on the phone? My unsolicited advise is to not worry about all the things you "need to do", cause they'll probably be there when you get home. Just focus on getting yourself well, so you can travel to see your mother. If you let yourself get too stressed, it's going to be difficult to heal. Take care of you too!

Got a scooch-over-chair, if need be........it'll depend on where you're headed as to how far outta the way I am.

Also, will depend on where I am--but I'd love to try to meet-up with both of you.

Butterfly (Who never knows when she'll be where this summer--and it isn't over yet : )

Here I am!

I'm gonna go set a light right now!

I'm thinking on making some stronger medicine work now that there is a path open. If that is OK with Sunny.

NightMist usually just sets light without ask>Oh Sunny.....I wish I could wave a magic wand over you and cast a healing

Dear all, thank you for your concern, prayers, lights, candles -- and Nightmist my dear, go r ight ahead, I need all the help I can get.

My fever is down. Thank goodness. It got to the point where my little beeping thermometer was making nasty noises and flashing red lights. So to the dr. in the morning early. My lungs feel pretty bad and I know what that means. Yes, 90 percent of what I'd planned to do before leaving for Arizona just went out the window. Whatever.....

Thank goodness for my husband and my darling oldest son who has taken such good care of me today.

Thank goodness for my friends who pray for me and send good things my way. (Ginger, you're the bomb!)

Hugs, Sunny

I missed your first post on this. I'm so sorry to hear you are ill again. But DO stop worrying about others right now. First priority is to get YOU well, so you can help later of needed.

Right now I have a very sick friend a couple of hundred miles away. Agressive liver cancer that has spread. As another friend pointed out, we also serve who only stand and wait, and right now, for this friend, wait and see and pray is all we can do. Sending some your way, while I'm at it.

You said it better than I could. One thing that helped me when I first got sick was making lists of: what NEEDED to be done (Dinner) what could let slide (daily laundry) what others could help me with (THAT was my hardest bug-a-boo to do--ASK for help!)see above

And then lists of what *I* wanted to do; Get back to sewing/quilting always was # 1 and what I wanted to 'try' to do (TRY is the key here)

and then set the lists aside and go over them in the evening w/ family and see what had been accomplished

By doing so, I set aside the 'worrying' for awhile.

Maybe we need to listen to DD's advice before she lets a new pilot into the cockpit. the minute they walk out the door and onto the tarmac she hands them an 'invisible box' tells them to put ALL their worries in it and when they head for the door after the flight she'd hand the box back to them. She could always tell when someone failed to do so. she learned to 'call them on it' and it would bring them back tot eh 'task at hand'

I can't give you advice...I can only say what worked/s for me then and now.and sometimes I have to change horses in midstream or even let someone else take over the reins.

I hate that you're hurting again

Butterfly (Empathy--I'll give freely --sympathy is your (my) Mom's job)

{{{{{{{{{{{Sunny}}}}}}}}}}}}} No worries. That's why we're here.

Rainbows and {{{{{Hugs}}}}} coming your way

Prayers on wing..... for you and your DM!
