Guest guest Posted July 7, 2004 Report Share Posted July 7, 2004 Bernice, Yes Dear you are allowed to post. Yes you are still a member. But I want you to read this carefully. Okay? Having HCV is not a fun diease. In fact it is life changing. I have found that I had to slow down and smell the roses. I was and am a type A personality and Bipolar to boot. But with the dx of this diease, I found that my new focus in life was to live life with all the gusto and happiness I can. I don't stress about the small stuff anymore. Life is too short for nit- picking. You don't have a Scarlet Letter on your chest. People are always telling me how good I look. I just got a new haircut and discovered that my curl had came back, I just needed to get all the treatment grown hair cut off. Now I am sporting curls again. Quit the negative thinking. It can only hurt you. Look when you think postitively you release endorphines. It is true!! Endorphines help you heal for one thing and for another thing they make you feel good. You need to change your thinking about this diease. It is not a death sentence!! Yeah it may impair your life to some degree. But you learn to deal with it. When I feel tired, I take a power nap. I set aside 20 to 45 mins for a short time to rest. That doesn't mean that I go to sleep all the time, but I lay down and close my eyes. I put on some soft soothing music, and I just think of nothing, or if I do, I put my self (in my thinking) in a topical rain forest,or laying on the beach with a tall glass of cool clear water or fruit juice. Before I know it I am refreshed and ready to go for a while. It might take 2 power naps to get me through the day. But I keep in mind that I am woman, I am invincable!!! I laugh at comedies,I laugh at the way a baby smiles. I am told that I have a inviting smile and I know that people just come up to me and start talking. Why because I just look welcoming.

Guest guest Posted December 16, 2004 Report Share Posted December 16, 2004 Thanks for this one Eddie. I cried all the way thru it....ric : A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year olds, " What does love mean? " The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think: High in the Colorado Rockies......ric richobbs1@...

Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Oh my gosh, Amy. I can relate because my 77-year-old father-in-law lives with us 3-4 months each year, and even though he's not bedridden, I have to prepare most of his meals at a certain time, do his laundry, clean his room, etc. He gets tea for himself but that about it. By the time he leaves, I'm so worn down that I want to scream. It is a strain on my marriage. First thing is that you need to take time for yourself even if you think you don't have time to do so. Where is your husband? Is he at work? Yes, of course, someone needs to feed her and help her w/her medication, but you don't need to take in her " Jewish mother guilt trip " , as you said. You have a right to walk away if she's upsetting you. How old is she? Once she gets a meal or her pills are all straightened out, leave the house, go somewhere, turn off your cell phone and just let her cry. I mean, if she really needs a nurse or she can get hurt, then you need to find someone to look after her while you go out. Get a babysitter. Oh, and if someone complains about your cooking just say, " You don't have to eat it. " Cook what you like and if they don't eat it, that's they're problem. You don't have to please everyone. Does she live with you full-time? Bev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 26, 2009 Report Share Posted February 26, 2009 Amy, you can channel it here, we're all here for you. Is it possible for you to get up a bit earlier than anyone else in the house? You can get a bit of alone time that way. I'm sending you peace. -Jenn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
