Dang my body isn't wanting to cooperate

[Guest guest]

I want to show my dear granddaughter a wonderful time here, which I

think she is having. Last evening after an afternoon at the beach and

making frozen lasagne for din-din, we sat down to watch a movie. I

wasn't feeling really well, I think from too much sun. Some of my

meds caution against getting too much sun. I wore sunscreen, and we

were mostly up to our necks in the ocean, body surfing. But I felt

like crapola and fell asleep on the loveseat during the movie. DH

comes home and decides it's inappropriate for me to be asleep and

ignoring my granddaughter and starts yelling my name loudly and

impatiently, telling me to get up. Argh, he was out with the boys for

happy hour and a bit tipsy, and his real attitude comes through then.

I mean, what's the harm in me taking a much-needed rest? So I got

back up to tend to the real reason he insisted I get up. He wanted me

to fix his dinner (8:30 at night). What a selfish man, argh.

Anyhow, I have been going through the various brochures for

activities and parks here, as I promised my dear granddaughter we

would do at least one. But I can't walk enough to do any of them.

Found one or two that have a tram tour through the park, but that's a

pricey ticket for admission for two and tram for two, when I wouldn't

be able to do much more than the tram. I am hurting pretty bad,

mostly from my degenerating right hip and the fibro and arthritis.

It's just soooo frustrating. If she was a bit older, we could rent a

wheelchair and she could push me, but it's a bit too much to ask of

an 11 year old. Need to look closer at these activities.

Oh, and this little girl is sooooo sweet. So as to not scare her (so

I thought), when I set up my bipap machine at bedtime the first

night, I explained obstructive sleep apnea to her, as I put it

together. She was very interested, and very attentive on how I set it

up. Bless her heart, she never laughed. Now get this - we had one of

her siblings pass away as an infant, in the room with all the other

children. My granddaughter has taken to turning down the bed, getting

my equipment out, filling the humidifier chamber, and setting it all

up in the evening, to make sure Grammy can sleep comfortably and

safely. Now how's that for making sure a person uses that machine?!

Gotta love that little girl!

What a precious child. I know how frustrated you must be because it is so

difficult to go and do the things you would like to with her. But, she will

likely understand if she is so caring as to set up your machine for you.

As for the husband, just a typical man. LOL. Most (not all of them) have a

selfish streak.

love and hugs,

Oh your granddaughter sounds like the sweetest little girl. What a sweet

unselfish thing for her to do and she loves her grammy!

Your hubby on the other hand - yeesh - slap him silly (and that's my nice way

of putting it!) OMG what a selfish man. You were not neglecting your

granddaughter. Next time he falls asleep in the chair - bang some pots in his

ear. Better yet - over his head. Man that makes me mad!

Don't know what to tell you about the parks - maybe just go to a local park

and have a nice picnic just the two of you where you can sit at a picnic table

or under a tree?

1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr. Some

treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to certain

health conditions or just dangerous in general.

2. If you are in a difficult situation (doesn't matter what it is) pls don't be

afraid to ask for help. It is the first step to trying to make that situation

better.

3. To unsubscribe the e-mail is:

Fibromyalgia_Support_Group-unsubscribe

4. Also, it is not uncommon for more than one member to be feeling bad at the

same time when it comes to flares and b/c of that potentially take something

another member says the wrong way. And that includes the things that one member

may find funny (even if it's laughing at fibro itself) even though we who deal

with illness whether one such as fibro or multiple illnesses try to keep a sense

of humor.

5. Pls let's be gentle with each other, and if you are having a bad day pls let

us know so that we can do our best to offer our support.

Have a nice day everyone.

I am so happy you are having such a good time. And shame on hubby for yelling at

you. Take it easy.
