Guest guest Posted August 26, 2002 Report Share Posted August 26, 2002 Hi ! Cyndie here. I hope you're feeling better today!! Did you get that awful lawn mowed today?? (I had help on Saturday too, it was my son who is 23 & Mentally handicapped. He tries so-o hard, but I ended up going over practically everything that he mowed- I'm too " anal " to be sick!):-) I get so angry sometimes when I am able to get something done around the house such as mowing, then in a day or 2 Mr. P might act up. Well, everyone I know starts yelling at me and telling me that it's because I did too much work the other day. They just don't have a clue! I also wanted to say something in regard to you feeling bad about not being able to buy new school clothes and such right now. Your children will NOT hate you when they grow up! They will have learned some very, very special things from you .They will grow up to understand that everything's just not handed to you. They will have learned to appreciate the little things in life and not take so much for granted.They may not understand now, but in time they will. When I 1st got sick, my oldest son Kris was an Airborn Ranger in the Army. He got wind that I hadn't been exactly honest with him on numerous phone calls (I didn't want to worry him), so he came home on leave and saw for himself. He wasn't happy. He went back and started the proceedings to get out of the Army on a " Hardship Discharge " . He felt as tho he had to be home with me and help take care of his younger brother. I was irate! I didn't want him to do that! He worked so hard! It's now 6 yrs later, and kris is a Policeman, married and the Father of an adorable little 8mo boy! He says that it's because of the hardships that we faced when he was younger that made him the man that he is today! So, don't cut yourself short sweetie! I'm sorry that this is so long, but your letter just touched some of my heart strings tonite! God's blessings to you! Cyndie :-) In pancreatitis@y..., Hallock wrote: > > Hi, > Its just me again. Sitting here at 3 in the morning nibbling on gingersnaps (they don't work so well for me wiht the nausea, but at least I'm not throwing them up... so far.) I managed so far to stay away from the ER. The boys start school in the morning and all have to wear old stuff because I haven't been able to work... they are really going to hate me someday. They know why I haven't been working, and my oldest son was worried about me all weekend. He stayed home Saturday night (unusual for him) because I was throwing up so much. I couldn't hardly make it up and down the stairs to the bathroom and thought seriously about just putting my blankets on the floor in there. I have done that before. > I'm calling my pcp in the morning to see if they can see me, probably not though...it usually takes a day or two. I'm so tired, but as soon as I lay down my back starts throbbing and then its not long before I am curled up in a ball clutching my gut. I think I have had about 8 hrs of sleep all weekend. I sleep best on the couch sitting up with my heating pad on my belly with my pillow over the top of that. But I don't have that luxury tonight... my youngest boy came home from his Aunts with poison Ivy. So he is on the couch, so I can get him all doped up with Ivy dry everytime he wakes up crying. I feel lucky though, the boy that was with him has it over his entire body. So far, Brady just has it on his belly and neck. (Please God don't let it get any worse...) > I don't want to complain too much so I guess I'll close for now... but I'm sure before this long night is over, I'll be back to post again. > Hey !! I'm glad I could help you guy. Its really good to see you posting again. And Cyndie... guess what? I get to mow my knee high grass tomorrow too. Ugh! At least I have the boys to bag and rake. > {{{HUGZ}}} > > > > > > --------------------------------- > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 27, 2002 Report Share Posted August 27, 2002 Cyndie, you speak the truth! Everybody and their cousin " absolutely knows " why you have a flare-up of this disease. It seems so obvious to them. I wish they'd go climb a tree and drool in their shoes. (Is that possible? Is it kind of like rubbing your tummy and patting your head at the same time? Actually they could do anything as long as they keep their cracker barrel pancreas philosohpy away from me!) Lawd, I'm cranky!

Guest guest Posted September 1, 2002 Report Share Posted September 1, 2002 Cyndie, Nah...the lawn waited... my neighbors got a little cranky, but my son Tyler (who is ADHD, ODD and Bi-polar) mowed it on Friday night, better late than never! Thank you for the kind words, they meant a lot to me. My kids are just so used to having everything they want, its hard to have to tell them no. They were a little more understanding than I thought they would be that's for sure. Especially the oldest boy. He is a father already at the tender young age of 15... the world is changing so quickly for him that I think he sees that if he had been given a little less in his life he may not be in the situation he is now. I have a beautiful 5 month old grandson named Gage, that is the lite of my life...after my own kids. I am so greatful when people share with me about their " special needs " children... Tyler is different from my other kids and he makes life He!! sometimes, but I wouldn't trade him for a million bucks... Thank you again Cyndie. {{{HUGZ}}} --------------------------------- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
