I have been sorta in the dumps over past week. I have not been able to work in a week now, not that I really want to right now because DT has become literally impossible to work for/with. He treats us like kids, hovers over and around us after giving us tasks to do and interrogates us. We are all on edge and tempers been short. i blew my fuse last week at the young wanna be actors that think that is all they are to do.
Well to boot, I have been in a lot of pain. I have a bad back anyhow. well anyhow for going on 4 weeks now I have had bad pain in my right arm and hand, and into the hip area. I have a tingling, numbness and let me tell you, just bumping the arm, I can not describe the pains that radiates all up and down it into my neck area. I have had severe headaches more often than ever, I attribute them to the stress.
Anyhow I finally got a dr appt last Friday. After taking x-rays and testing me and touching, well you know the deal, he gave me a pain pill, steroids and a sleeping pill. Also told me no working either that requires lifting or moving HEAVY anything. I had no problem with that!! He thinks I may have pinched a nerve or did something in my back. I see my regular dr on Mon and they are trying to get a short notice MRI, but do not think they are going to get it this week.
Anyhow I was really down about I can not really claim the hurt on work as I do have a problem, and I have been enduring it and doing all the crap DT has wanted. So I now am concerned about future budget, paying co-pays and insurance bills.
Then I got further bad news about my brother up in Nebraska.
So anyhow after someone sent me that really nice nosy post and couple other funny jokes past couple days, it has made me think and look at the light.
So knowing that I am blessed, have some extra and knowing their are others that can use, well tonight I went shopping to get a few things to take to april's for dinner. That is when it struck me. I have a young couple in front of me that has two little ones and they are struggling. Imagine that! Then next door is this elderly couple, and she is handicapped. So what did I do?
I bought each of them a ham and small turkey and all the trimmings. I can not wait to give the stuff to them tomorrow and know it is going to be VERY difficult. I will probably cry more than they will! Done that before too just seeing the unbelieving appreciation they give out!! But you know what, I am happy that I can do this for someone in need. I have been there and done that myself and I do know the Lord does provide and care for his children.
I am sorry this is long, but I just had to share as it truly is that time of the year and many people do not think about the true meaning of the season or look at others needs over their's.
So, ((HUGS)) to all, and may EVERYONE in here truly be blessed and know there are some in here that do share and care from their hearts, even with others who are paranoid for various reasons and untrusting. Until I joined and met many in this group, I did not realize or BELIEVE there were others who feel and do the same things I try to do.
