Vikki,

Here's some cheese <o> (swiss) for that whine--and a big hug too

(((((((((Vikki)))))))))). Wish I could do more, just keep you in my

prayers too. Hope your pain leaves long enough for you to enjoy

Christmas.

Love,

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all your wonderfully caring responses to my post. Yesterday was just

miserable for me. I was SOOOO down and depressed, and I cried at the drop of a

hat. It was wonderful to know that there are a group of caring folks here in

the RA group who understand - and you were just an email away! I went to bed

early last night (7:30 - can you believe it!), partly because I was crying over

every little thing, partly because I was so tired, and partly because I just

wanted the day to END. After sleeping for 12 hours, I feel MUCH better. I

guess everybody needs a pity party once in a while. If nothing else, it got the

rest of my family to take over some of the tasks I was struggling with. My

husband took me out to dinner last night (even though I was too depressed to

eat), and my daughter is going to finish my Christmas shopping today (Yes, I

have a black belt in procrastination)! I still hurt everywhere, but my outlook

is MUCH better. Thanks for all your kind words and prayers. I don't post

much, but it's good to know that you folks are here when I need it. Please know

that you are all in my prayers, and I think of you often as I go through my day.

May you all have a wonderful Christmas holiday!

Vikki

BTW, Thanks for the cheese and the hug, Judi! <big smile> It was exactly what

I needed!
