I'm Back.......

[Guest guest]

This has been a hectic last week and a half. I have been " hard bounced " by

several times, this last time from Thursday until earlier today. I keep

sending back the emails they send me to reactivate and they do for a short time

and then I'm off again.

I have missed so many postings and I don't have the time to go to the archives

that I will just have to wing it for awhile.

Carol: I am so sorry for what you are going through. I have been there - done

that - also. I had panic attacks for several years. The last few years, I

ended up in the er several times only to be told all the pain and shortness of

breath that I was having was due to muskal - skeletal(sp) and would never be

referred on to a specialist to check it out. I got so I quit going to the er

and just weathered it out at home. Fortunately, this new doctor I have, I

think, would send me to a specialist or find out the reason herself. I called

the temple to put your name in on the prayer rolls but they are closed on

Mondays and the ext vm box was full(I think it must have something to do with

9/11 as I have never had that problem before)so will call first thing in the

morning. I will put Tess and all the others in also. How is Debs? I must have

missed any updates on her.

Tess: you are certainly in my prayers. Having had periods of deep depression

myself(though now it doesn't seem as rough as what you are experiencing)I always

clung to the belief that " this too will pass " . Hang in there, Sweet Tess, with

our Heavenly Father's love and the support of all our family and friends, you

will make it.

Al: I have missed what you are going through right now but my prayers are with

you to support you and give you strength to face whatever is happening now. You

are a vital part of our family.

I must share with you the shoes I just bought over the weekend. I found a $10

off coupon(for shoes $25 or more)from Sears in a magazine. I hurried down

because they were having a big sale and it included my " I Love Compfort " shoes.

I found a nice pair of mules? clogs?(without the high heel), the slip on type

that I like that allows for compfort and the swelling from time to time. They

were normally nearly $40 normally and were on sale for $25 so ended up getting

them for $15 They look sylish without taking away the comfort. Someone had

asked about shoes again so thought I would share.

The heat wave seems to be gone from southern CA for the time being and it even

rained over the weekend. While all my joints and flesh ached, I didn't have the

all consuming fatigue that usually keeps me limited on what I do on the

weekends. I was able to complete a couple of projects from the clutter that

occurs when I just can not muster the energy to face taking care of it on an

ongoing basis. It really felt good to set back and look at all I was able to do

but I wonder if I am going to have to pay for it with a major flare down the

road.

Last week, it was mentioned that someone would make the voodoo dolls for the

group. If that gets off the gournd, I would like to contribute to whoever will

be making them. Also, there was talk of those of us that have a weight problem

and trouble sticking to a diet, would form a group within out group for support.

If that gets off the ground also, please include me in on that also. Thanks.

Does anyone have trouble with their vision? Blurry at times or hard to focas?

I have had my eyes checked but they do not see anything except the formation of

cataracts that they insist are not bad enough to cause the things I went to see

them for.

This has turned into another one of my epistles so will close for tonight before

I bore anyone into getting a good night's sleep. It's good to be back......
