getting people to understand

[Guest guest]

Does anyone have any ideas I may use to try to get my 10 year old son

to understand that sometimes I just can't do everything I used to do.

Also does anyone have any suggestions on dealing with work. I have

been having a major flare for the last couple of weeks and it is

taking a toll on me Today i was having a lot of issues with pain so I

ended up sitting down instead of walking the playgound like a usually

do and I heard so many comments about being lazy do I give in and tel

everyone at work what is going on or do I just ignore their stupid

comments because I don't think they will understand. HOpe everyone is

having a good night.

THanks

Put cloths pins on your friends fingers and have them wear them all day doing

there daily chores...they will have a new understanding of what we feel and how

hard it is to just do the dishes sometimes.

Sharonribbon54sews@...

a, Dawn, and Angie, Kathe more than I can remember now,.

This morning I got up after spending a truly fitful night.

NOW I KNOW what I did to spend a fitful night... I didn't

do anything except to go to bed and was close to tears

again. I can do very little and THAT brings on tears too.

Rhuematoid Arthritis and Stroke/Aphasia.My husband does

so many things for me. Well, I'd better stop before the tears

start again.

I have these wonderful people here and there...thank you.
