Guest guest Posted January 22, 2007 Report Share Posted January 22, 2007 , You do things in your own time and your own way. There is no "right" way to get through this process, there's only what works for each of us on any given day. Personally I think you're doing just fine and I admire your committment to honor your own feelings. We're here in your corner whenever you need us! Beth Fibrotic NSIP 06/06 Don't try to explain it, just nod your head. Breathe in, breathe out. Move on. J. Buffett Just need to talk again. You know, I have still not signed up with Hospice. Just cant seem to do it. My family tells me I am just in denial and dont want to face the inevitable. Well...maybe they are right and then again..maybe they are wrong. These are the things I have faced and done something about lately. I have faced the fact that getting out of a chair/couch is alot of exertion and so I consented to letting my husband order a lift chair for me. I dont want one, but I concede that I need one. Secondly, my sister was here for two weeks and before she left, we went through all my very nice work and play clothes and I gave them to her. That was very difficult for me as it means I will never need them again. Last Wed. I received a letter from SS saying my disability claim had been approved. Instead of being please, I started crying. I dont want to be disabled, I want to work. I love to work. As long as I had not been accepted, it seemed there was a chance that somemedical board would see my charts and think I wasnt sick enough for disability.. .but I have faced it and have stopped crying about it. So, I am facing things. No, I have not agreed to Hospice yet although I realize I am ready medically for them. I am just not ready emotionally for them. I think I am doing pretty good in the acceptance stage. The rest will come.....but on my time...not anyone else's. OH, one more thing I did. I called and got an appointment with a therapist... maybe she can help me sort and deal with everthing and everybody. I believe I am on the right course..just taking me longer. I do not want to be sick, try very hard to not look sick or act sick but lately I have noticed that besides the obvious hose in my nose, that my eyes have this sick look. This is really hard for me. Thanks for listening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
