Guest guest Posted November 9, 2007 Report Share Posted November 9, 2007 Lynn, Please dont feel bad about not posting as often, Ive been reminded time and time again about that and right now it sounds like you and I are currently on the downhill part of the Rollercoaster.And please dont feel like your alone this holiday season, because speaking for myself, but Im sure others would agree, you are a special part of our Family and your presence here in this group is very precious to us.You also said, tired , discouraged and fustrated, and dont have the energy to be up, I wish I had the answers for that but to tell you the truth when I read it I felt like crying and laughing all at once because it seemed like you were describing me.I can say over and over again Lynn that you are not alone.Were all together in this journey and I cant think of anyone Id rather have on my side then you and the rest here.Please know that I feel your pain and my heartfelt best wishes go out to you tonight.And to the group, Ive been taking some time to heal because once again my bronchitis has turned into pnuemonia, I will be posting much more again as soon as I have the energy.But i read from everyone and you are all in my thoughts Ron l pratt wrote: Dear Lynn, Thanks for " hanging in there " - here - with us. So you are on the LBD roller coaster ride. That in itself is enough to be sad about. And with both you and your husband experiencing health problems - and adult kids who are sons who everyone tells me absolutely " don't get " holidays - YOU ARE ENTITLED TO FEEL AS YOU DO! Isn't this a good place to share? The rest of us do " get it, " and many of us share those feelings. I sure do. No kids, but other family who have deserted mom and me since her LBD has worsened and she is no longer " good company. " So I'm pretty much on my own with her at the care facility where she lives and I work. incluidng on holidays. Please stay in touch. We need you here! And you are so right - get enough sleep. It doesn't change our situations, but having sufficient rest is necessary to keep going through the challenges life presents. Peace, Lin Lynn wrote: Hi all, I haven't been writing much this week. I guess I'm a little bumed out . My mom keeps going down hill, then bounces back again. I'm going through some health issues myself. Also, my hubby has to have some shoulder repair surgery real soon but don't have a date yet. I am tired, discouraged, and frustrated. I don't have it in me to be UP. I should be happy because I was able to get a super cheap ticket to go see my kids next month for 5 days. The holidays are always a hard time for me, because we have no family here. My mom hardly counts. She is here but not! The BC is having a Thanksgiving dinner with all 6 houses and we are invited. That is really nice of them, but it is depressing seing all the ill patience. I always get depressed around the holidays and my birthday. My kids(boys) could care less about that kind of stuff. They are grown adults but as hard as I tried to teach them that holidays etc. mattered, they never " got it " . I'm sorry for the pitty party! It's 1 am and I probably should go to bed. I do hope is okay!!!!! You are all in my prayers. Especially the ones who are going through a challenging time now. God Bless, Lynn __________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
