Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Tess, I always look at moving as a chance to get rid of some of the things that I thought I couldn't live without. I know that Em is really helping out. Remember to pay attention to your body when it is trying to tell you to rest. Are you on a really tight move schedule or are you able to slowly pack. It makes it hard not being able to find anything but prevents some of the pain. I usually start early and pack up too much and end up having to open boxes. My brother is moving before September but has said that he might send me a ticket to drive his car down to Louisiana. If that happens, I will let you know in advance. Dearest, special Tess, take care of yourself. Hugs. Iris > > Hi All...my hands have been giving me grief, but that's been happening > > off & on for so long.

Guest guest Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Hi Tess, sorry you are experiencing more pain. Em is probably right about you doing so much more. She is one sweet girl and you are blessed to have her. Try not to overdo the packing and let others help you. I am not surprised that you are having emotional ups and downs, just remember all you have gone through leading up to your surgery. You have come a long way in a short period of time.
