update on me

[Guest guest]

I keep coming here and I keep thinking I will make new friends, bond with people

and all, and then I come and go and have these long spaces before I make it back

again. Why is it it is not so easy to remember to take care of ones self?

I have been sidetracked yet again, with everyone and everything else- and not

taking care of me. (my best friend is battling stage 4 melanoma along with her

MS, and a few other equally awful things are going on, so I have been at

melanoma groups lately)

Well, dummy me, I had been doing SO great after my vacation. I was maybe too

excited about it? I got caught up in my friends illness and well, I wish I

could say I neglected myself, but abuse would be a better word.

I forgot to take my darned mtx (I cannot believe I did this, and not once but

twice in a row) and I have not been sleeping etc. so I am not doing well at

all, now.

I am gonna try to come here more often and read more, and pay better attention

to all the wonderful things everyone posts for helping all of us to better take

care of ourself.

I want to thank you guys for all your hard work- finding all the information you

find, and for all the peole who come here and share. You do all that to help

all of us, and I just keep sidetracking myself.

A wise friend said " in order to take care of others, you must first take care of

yourself "

Gosh I hope to follow that advise and I hope to come here and become a familiar

face.

Know I am thinking of you guys even if I am not here -----and thanks for being

here.
