Deanna, I miss talking on the phone. We have been having to leave our line open because having all kinds of issues with loan and selling brett's place and buying our dream house. Very stressful and I have been couch ridden for three straight days. Just when I need to talk to you.
More members should try phone calls. It is great to hear a voice. This morning I got to talk to Shannon - Kelsey's mom. She is a sweetheart and has been giving me advice on home loan.
Anyway, Deanna, just wanted you to know I miss you.
I'm not doing any work this week. It feels strange. I got to spend time with Julie today. She's all stressed out about me and I'm all stressed out about her having to move. But she seems to moving right along with that. I told her we need to see each other in person more, get the serious stuff out of the way and then start joking around.
She's been so worried about me that she's been crying a lot. I told her I'd be okay. It's not like before when my life was in any kind of danger. And, I reminded her how hard I have fought for her and that I'm going to fight for myself in the same manner.
She hasn't found a place, but it seems that she's got all kinds of help lined up to help her. It's really discouraging for her. I wish I could make it all better.
I bet I can guess what going on with you Roxy. Brett's in a grump. Phone calls are all serious stuff. You can't move, and you feel guilty. There's all this packing to do and all you can do is sit there and look cross-eyed at it.
Here's what I do when I get like that. I make lists, either in my head or on paper, of all the things I want to get done. Then, when I feel better, or I can snag someone to do it for me, I get something done on the list.
Here's where you could be running Kelsey and Brett ragged. Your mind still functions, hon. Sit or lay down next to some area that needs to be packed and then get Kelsey to do it. Teach her how to wrap and organize things. Then, set up a special reward for her. She is going ot feel so good about herself.
Brett just needs reassurance that all this is going to fall into place. But it will. It always does because we don't have any choice. The houses will finalize, monies will exchange. It will happen. Remind him that this is his dream too to have some extra freedom and have family around him. He just needs to be reminded that everything really is under control.
Hope this helps as I'm only guessing what's going through your head. If you find a good time to talk, go ahead and call me. I don't care what time it is.
I'm hanging in there, waiting for doctors visits and final moves towards disability. Adjusting to the thought of not working is overwhelming me. But working is just not happening.
I get down about it, then I'll feel better about it. It's kind of a seesaw exerprience.
Deanna, Good advice. Doctor appt. today. It is feeling like they are useless as they never make me better.
I have a doctor's appointment today as well. We'll have to exchange results.
I'm sure they are going to find something to help you. But you may have to resort to the prednisone, at least for the time being.
Let me know what happens.
