Chrissy,

I understand that you feel you need t work. I too went through this. I want

to tell you something. I feel very crummy about myself allot of the time

especially when we are broke because I think it is my fault. Chrissy, since I

got sick and couldn't work, we lost our home, we had to sell it before it was

foreclosed on, we lost our car, couldn't make the payments so we asked them to

take it back, I now drive an old Buick on it's last legs, we live in an

apartment, I haven't bought clothes for myself in over 3 years, my son got new

school clothes because his godmother came and picked him up one day and took him

shopping. You know what Chrissy, IT DOESN'T MATTER! What matters is the fact

that I cannot function enough to work, what matters is that I am here for my

kids to see and feel and love. Trust me it is hard. We live in area where the

median home price is around $400,000. Everyone drives new cars (watch out

mister my old Buick just might choke you to death), all the new mommies take

their kids to mommy and me class and so on. I used to worry about this crap

too, well you know what now I don't, that is not what matters. It was very hard

on us when I stopped working because I made twice as much money as my husband,

believe me it hurt. But you know what, we lived through it, we are maybe better

people because of it. Please just hang in there and understand that these

things too shall pass. Hug your babies! Love them! Kiss them! I know they are

all " too old for that mom! " So what do it anyway! Have you thought about a

home business. Maybe medical billing, or something that you can use your

nursing skills to do. Maybe you can't do your old job anymore but what about

something like visiting nurses. Don't you have those out there, you know they

go out and check up on post-op pts. and such. Maybe this can be your new

calling. Okay, I have to go, have a dr's apt. in 1/2 hr.

Big HUGS!!!

I have to

work; actually I had been looking for another job for extra money

and had hope the sphincteroplasty would have given me enough relief

to do that.
