Lucy/pain and breakdown

[Guest guest]

Hi Lucy,

I hate those late nights where you ust cant get to sleep. Your body is so

tired but your pain keeps you awake. Maybe your dr can give you something

light to help you sleep? I know they have non addictive sleep aids maybe

thatd help you. But i know when the pain is so bad it seems like nothing

will help. You never mentioned but are you on meds for your pain? I hope

so.

I understand your not wanting or not being sure about getting an aid to help

you. Dennis wants to see about someone coming to house a couple times a week

once he starts work but i have major trust issues. When i first got hurt

dennis was working 60hrs a week to help and i had a friend stay with us to

help. But it wasnt a good thing as we found money and even a ring of mine

missing. Now we are not rich or havent been rich by any means but that makes

it even more upsetting. The things we do have mean alot to us and to have

something stolen without being able to 'prove' killed me. Especially sicne i

considered her a friend. She gave me 50 per week towards rent and helped

with food. So we were helping eachother out cause she split with her live

in bf.

But it is something to keep in mind- maybe just having someone coming a few

days a week who you can trust and who isnt a close friend. seems like there

are more problems if its a friend helping. At least this is what happened

with us. When he works after school we might get someone to help though

cause i can barely move.

I also understand what you mean about not having your husband ome with you

alot. I hated it when dennis was a foreman cause there were times hed come

home to sleep for 6hours and then right back to work. The money was great

and he did what he thought he had to but your right that life isnt all about

money.

Ok sorry to write a book im trying to catch up a bit and get my butt moving

so i can get to grocery store.I heop your weekend was good and you didnt

have to cancel your plans.

Keep us posted ok?

Love rachael
