i don't think there is anything we can do but hold her in our hearts and minds, Possum. she has at least one IRL Friend there. i have offered to try and get her help, but she's determined to go it on her own... (must respect that ~! )

it's not as if any of us will escape death; may we meet it as a friend~!

Hoping she is at least comfortable and at peace...

Thanks Gus. I do respect Jan and miss her and her exploits of Belle. Glad that she has one friend irl to help. I do hold her in my heart and think of her often. Life is like that picture of that Cactus. Lots of thorns/pain but pretty when it comes out in flowers.

prickly pear cactus fruit is beyond delicious~!

back home from surgery... in quite a bit of pain at the moment... another hour til more meds.

I am in a lot of pain today.

so this morning during my shower, I had problems moving my arms/ legs and had breathing difficulties, none of this I'm going to collapse, none of that... but I did, what I like to call, " sway", and quite fast

just about made it to breakfast in a lot of agony, ate breakfast, and then came back to my room and just chilled out.

I'm feeling better now (I'm breathing normally, and I'm not in pain), um..... okay, I am a little in my legs

I hate chronic pain, especially when it flares up really bad- all the energy in you just goes away

going to eat some chips this afternoon and post a bit on here

and then find something for dinner

I saw my pdoc yesterday. Told him about how much pain and exhaustion I have. He asked if I thought I needed to go on FMLA. I decided to hold off on that. My boss is really good about letting me work from home if I need to and flexing my time.

It's the three day Labor Day weekend in the States this weekend. I am taking Tuesday off too. So I get a four day weekend. Am going to work on cleaning here and at mom's Saturday and Sunday. Then I'd like to do a whole lot of nothing Monday and Tuesday. It's taking me forever to get Mom's place ready to go on the market. I alternate between stressing over it and just accepting I can only do a bit at a time.

There's a tropical storm down around the Keys. Change in barometric pressure is killing me.

Plans in last post have gone the way. I decided not to go work at Mom's this weekend. I spent Saturday playing with the horses, then came in and played on the new phone. (I posted about the phone in the social form.) Spent part of yesterday trying to clean my place so I can move the stuff I want from Mom's here. Currently at the stage of making more mess before it gets cleaned up.Not sure how much I'm going to get done today and tomorrow. I hurt and I'm exhausted. My right knee woke me up this morning. Normally my left is worse. Today the right one wants to be the most noticed.

Gawd I hate this disorder.

I'm sorry, liz. Pain during days off is especially a bummer.

I'm having a lot of aching today, too. I wouldn't think a storm in the gulf would be affecting me, but something is.

[lizardlady]

Trav, there's a high pressure area that is steering the storm. Maybe that's what's getting you?

[childofchaos831]

The pain from the surgery is getting better but it's still quite a bit... surviving tho. It's not too much.

in too much pain.

that is all

have been in quite a bit of pain today.

had my shower this morning- and the entire experience made my body feel rough (just touching my body ached)

pain progressed throughout the day, but not to a point where I'm unable to cope

not yet anyway

I always thought I had a weak pain threshold (and I suppose I do for external stuff), but I can take a lot internally

I've not been doing much.

so I've been able to relax a lot

lots of pain but good I'm not moving much

[lizardlady]

Oh dear sweet baby jesus I hurt. Was fighting tears at work today.

[~Christina]

Oh Liz ,.. I’m sorry !!

I’m still in Florida visiting friends and the last 2 days my pain is awful.

Oh Christina I love this and plan to use it!

Maybe it's something about the weather right now that's getting us?

No school for the kids today so I took the day off. Slept 11 hours! I had plans to work around the house/farm today. I still hurt like holy bejeebers and don't have a single functional brain cell in my head today. I may spend the day curled on the sofa feeling sorry for myself.
