Guest guest Posted November 9, 2004 Report Share Posted November 9, 2004 Oh my my Tami, I'm so glad you wrote hon... but so sad to hear all that you've been through, so much for such a young person. I had no idea, my heart really goes out to you, I'm so so sorry but I feel better days 'are' ahead!! I want you to keep that hope alive, ok? You have much to accomplish yet esp. being a mom *smile* what a wonderful responsibility that is. I know at times it may seem like a burden esp. when you're in so much pain but it's the blessing and miracle that does keep you going. Thank goodness. I must say seeing all you've done and gone through that you certainly are trying everything within your power to get better!! No doubt you are a woman of great courage, braveness and determination to have endured such adversity and pain with what you've been through already. What fortitude you must have and I greatly admire you for that but hon I also can hear the frustration, pain and great sadness in your voice and 'almost' ready to give up too in defeat. I'm certain there are days when you do want to give up, but, and I know it's trite to say hon, but please don't you dare give up, even though things look so bleak right now, I mean it, you hang in there hon even if it's by a thin thread, ok? Your strength and determination and love of the kids will bring you back on track. Also financial difficulties can wear one down too, (believe me I know of that as well) but that too can change in a NY heartbeat and we 'never' know what's ahead. *smile* or what's in store in the next chapter of this book we call "MY LIFE", We close one chapter and open another and there's always another adventure waiting.. Believe me those better days 'are' ahead and it's right before the dawn that the night is the darkest... and so it may seem to you right now but have that hope, nothing stays the same and I just KNOW better days are ahead! I understand too how sometimes we just have days when we say "enough is enough"!! we can't stand anymore, I think a lot of us have been there at one time or another but somehow we do make it through another day, we do it one day at a time hard as that is. So don't borrow tomorrows troubles, today has enough of it's own as they say. We are women and yes we are strong! much stronger than even we realize. Look how far you've come already. I also think we deserve a pity party for ourselves now and then, I truly do. *grin*..There's nothing wrong in feeling sorry for ourselves (as long as it's not an obsession) but no one loves us more than we do ourselves, so why not! It's good for the soul and body to just cry our hearts out and shed those buckets of tears at times. It cleanses our souls (not getting religious here, if that helps it's wonderful) but I mean a real physical effect that I think is healthy and gets toxins out of the body let alone the beneficial psychological effects. It's why we have tear ducts, *smile*.. we're meant to cry. (emotional tears are even made up of a different substance too) Hon I could go on and on (guess I have *chuckle*) but please please know you're not alone with this, you've got that pain clinic working with you as well as us here and the best part is the sisterhood of women who understand. I'm certain you've many good friends and family as well who love you so, so just know that others care and share your pain and others have been where you are, and a burden shared is split in half while a joy shared is double. I wish we could take some of that away for you but know we're here to lean on, you don't have to go it alone. If I could I'd send that magic fairy with her little wand and just touch you and you'd be healed, but meanwhile sending cyber hugs and a shoulder to lean on ok? It'll be ok, you'll see. Just remember one day at a time and wishing you peace of mind, spirit, heart and body. BIG BIG (((HUGS))) Dee~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted November 13, 2004 Report Share Posted November 13, 2004 Good grief Tami, you have totally misunderstood me! I didn't intend for you to feel any of the things you say below. I'm really sorry you felt that way because I think you have been very strong and resourceful in tackling your problem and my email was a thinking out loud sort of comment about whether or not you could use the unit for more time to alleviate your pain. My ONLY intention was to give you food for thought that if the machine was designed for only a given period of time for a specific disorder, perhaps what you were using it for would make it possible to use for for longer periods of time, so that you could achieve longer periods of relief. That's all I meant. I was trying my best to make a suggestion that may be of some benefit to you, given what I know/knew about using my own TENS unit beyond the prescribed time allotments. Honestly Tami, I think you really did misunderstand me. I'm honestly bewildered by your reaction to my post.
