Guest guest Posted June 7, 2006 Report Share Posted June 7, 2006 Dearest Sherry; Oh yes, there is definitely a light at the end of the tunnel! I understand exactly where you are..I have been there more than once...I was diagnosed in Feb. 05, and have only been able to work from mid Aug. 05 to Mid Jan., 06....when I could no longer walk...discovered, I had been working for at least 3 months on both fractured hips (femoral heads/necks). Duh...no wonder they hurt... Anyway, I read somewhere at one time and have experienced that it takes like around at least 6 months to even " adjust " to a major life change...so you are there! Not that the disease or the process gets any better, but I believe we get better: more able to cope, etc. Keep coming back here. I isolated really badly for awhile and nearly went out of my mind....Like someone else wrote, I came extremely close to taking myself out once....but for the grace of God and NO life insurance to leave my family...well, i'm still here and very very glad....I, too, would have missed out on so much....anyway, as my incredible wife says.... " Suicide is a permanent solution to a temporary problem. " I didn't mean to sidetrack.....just know there is hope and you have a very supportive family here. Post as often and as long as you need to.....you are why we are here and we are why you are here....and i'm tired...............the old Dragon has been kicking my butt today, too. Hang in there, girl and know that comfort and peace are not far away. I will definitely pray for you and please please keep writing! God Bless you and know too that you are loved!
