I need support

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

For those of you who know me, I have my two sons,one who is married with two

wonderful kids. They all live in New Hamshire. I had plans to go see them next

week, but I canceled my trip because I haven't been well. I am on amoxocillin

for strep and sinus trouble. I have a little fever but afraid to go out of town

now. Last year I ended up in the hospital for 6 days with double pnemonia. It

took my body over 9 months to recoop. I have diabetes, asthma, and some minor

stuff as well. I am sooooooooooooooo afraid of being that sick again. But, I

miss our kids,especially my grandkids. So, all this to say that I am depressed.

I know I made the right choice but it is still hard. We can't move there till

mom goes. And HE isn't giving me any hints. Please those who pray, please pray

for us.My husband is having shoulder surgery on Dec.14th. And I turn the big 60

on the 20th. Yes, it bums me out a little.I just hope and pray, I don't get what

mom has. I would rather die early than

to live like mom is. Forgive me for rambling.I am tired and need to go to bed.

I'll feel better tomorrow. Thanks for letting me vent. It helps!!

god Bless,

Lynn S.

Hi, Lynn,

I wish I had some great advice to make you feel better, but I just wanted

you to know I am thinking of you. A lot of times, caregiving is overwhelming

by itself, but when you throw the events of life into the mix, it just gets

unbearable sometimes. I know you are disappointed about not seeing the family

now, but you definitely made the right decision. You can go visit later when

you are feeling stronger. You definitely don't need to be getting sick,

especially with your husband's shoulder surgery in a couple of weeks. I am

sending

lots of strength your way, and hoping things seem a little better after you

have had some rest.

Big hugs,

Piper

Lynn,

By the time you read this it will be morning and you will be rested. Sending

lots of good healing thoughts your way. I know it can get lonesome for family

when you haven't seen them for a while. And disappointing when you plan to go.

I also am sure you made a good choice. Taking care of yourself is so important

so that you don't spend another 9 months not being able to see them because you

are so sick. Delaying a visit is better than no visit at all. How about

treating yourself to a few more calls to them than usual. I am sure they are

as disappointed as you are. And you should find other ways to treat yourself so

you can feel better. It is healing to do that. Extra nap? Extra reading time?

or whatever makes you feel good. Maybe an extra bit of some special food? All

of that will be more healing for you than depression will anyway. And do one of

those " Thankful Lists " every day.

Sending up some special prayers for you too.

Hugs,

Keep your chin up, Lynn. Your dedication to your mom

is a great example to your grandchildren. They will

always figure that it's natural that families take

care of each other. I, too worry about getting what

mom has but we know a bit more now than we did 20

years ago, and I have every hope that we'll know even

more about how to combat this thing 20 years from now.

Kindredly,

Lynn M.

Lynn, I am so sorry, dear. I know exactly what you are dealing with. I have

been there and am still there. Taking care of an ill person is far more

difficult when you are ill yourself, than just being tired. I have learned not

to

sweat the small stuff, and just take care of us the best I can.

You are loved and cherished.

Hi Lynn

I am so sorry you had to cancel your trip. What a sad

thing to have to do. I know how much you wanted to see

your grandchildren and visit with your sons. I feel

just awful Lynn. But, having said all that. You do

need to take care of your self. Especially if you are

sick and need antibiotics. I know you would hate to be

sick back there and not have a doctor to go see.

Hopefully your trip will be just postponed and not

completely can celled. It would be great if after your

husbands surgery and he was feeling better you could

both go before he starts back to work. Just thinking

out loud, not sure this would work or not. I will

definitely keep you both in prayer. I feel so sad. I

think the holidays are for family especially. Please

take good care of yourself and I will put you at the

top of my list for prayer.
