Catching Up

March 6, 2006

Hi all,

It was a hard weekend for me. I apologize if I have not responded to the

encouraging messages posted to me. I'm having a difficult time with my right arm

and shoulder and even using the mouse was painful.

In spite of the pain I tried to catch up on things that needed doing around

the house. Of course, I over did it and ended up literally laid out.

Bless my husband's heart, on his first day off, he finished up what I had left

undone and let me sleep in this morning. He even fed the cats and kept them out

my hair while I caught up on much needed rest.

As I caught up on the group messages I realize what a supportive group I've

joined. The messages of hope and encouragement and the shared stories on

everyday issues besides the common issue of pain caused me to see that there are

no insignificant issues and that people are reaching out to one another on a

daily basis. Not just a one time thing.

By the way, my appetite problem is still ongoing. I see my doctor on the 17th

of this month. Since my last appointment I dropped from 178 lbs to 152 lbs

that's within a 5 week period.

I know that's not a good sign and I'd received a suggestion from a member to

try taking supplements to help with my energy level. I checked on that and

luckily my pharmacey has supplements designed for diabetics. I'm going to

purchase one that seems to meet the requirements I need. Of course before I

purchase it I will discuss it with my doctor first.

I have a list of allergic reaction to organic and non organic meds that I have

to be very careful with what I take scripted or not.

You all have a lovely day and a respite from problems. I'm thinking good

thoughts for you and adding my prayers to those who asked and those who need

them. Bless you.
