Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 .... I DO believe in God and will definately pray for you. I live in Arkansas which is a neighbor state to Tennessee. What part of TN are you moving to?

Here it is the middle of Oct and I'm facing yet another year of long winters in Wet soggy Seattle with no family support and flare after flare, illness after illness. Last weekend we made a decision we'd been thinking about for a long time. We are moving to live in the same town as our family - for those of you that believe in God and prayer. We prayed that if it was Gods direction, it would happen fast. We asked my parents to look at a couple of houses and see if they say anything that was 'us'. They called on Tuesday on Wednesday my husband flew back to look at it. He loved it. I trust him enough to know that he knows my taste. We made an offer and we are moving. I've been too sick to even try to go to the conference this year. So this year move to have the love and support of my parent. Next year - if god leads us to, We will hopefully be joining those that go to the conference. For the last 4 to 5 years, I have spent so many winters lonely, and it was already starting. My husband is the most patient caring, giving man I know and he needs to love and support of family too. So we are making the move. It's time - time to have that love surround us. I will have my Doctors here still be part of my team. They have already agreed to it. I am so at peace with this, Now it's just time to pray that our home here sells quickly so that we don't have to carry two houses for a long time. But God's hand is in this and if there is one area that I must grow it is trust. So it's a big step and Trust is where I will grow. I wanted to share this will all of you, even though I have never met - we all fight the same battles daily and I was looking forward to meeting those that would be at the conference. If any of you live in TN. Please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 12, 2007 Report Share Posted October 12, 2007 Hi Angelia, We are moving to Cookeville TN. It's between Nashville and Knoxville, bot closer to Nashville. I'm working on quotes from movers, but I'll leave Seattle on the 22nd and my Dad is coming out next week to help my husband Get the house ready to sell. We will have the movers do the full move (Pack Move ect. We will have them even store our stuff until the house we bought is vacated (if necessary). I had already planned on going to visit my family around that time and If I stay here I'll just make myself sicker than I already am trying to help here and there, so I won't be here. My husband can do that stuff. The movers can pack it all and move it all. My dad and husband can do all the little touch up work and we will do any signing I need to do before I go or overnight mail or via fax. I'm really getting excited. I've wanted to be with them for years, but it is very hard to do a move like this when you are fighting for ssdi and LTD, etc. I have a few very good friends that will be missed, but nothing is like having your parents when you need them or following what you believe to be what God wants you to do. This dampness is not making it easy for me and I can not even think of another winter like the ones I've been having in the past. It makes it hard to even get close to get better in the summer, for example, this past summer, I had to fight swollen glands in my abdomen for over 7 weeks. And then about 4 weeks after that, my back started to get worse, so my Rheumy took some xrays and discovered that my back has bone spurs and that cause so much referred pain and now he is getting concerned that they may start to fuse together over time. Anyway it is the right decision for us and we are at peace with it. -- Re: conf .... I DO believe in God and will definately pray for you. I live in Arkansas which is a neighbor state to Tennessee.

Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 You are going to be a little over 7 hours from me. I do however have a really good friend in Nashville. She runs the surgical resident program at Vanderbilt. I also have a conference scheduled there next year. I'll have to get with you when I'm there. I just usually fly ....it's easier on the bod. You of course know how that is. You will be in the same climate as I am which I hear is a really good one to be in with Still's. Of course you know the winters aren't hard at all. I'm so glad you're going to be close to your parents. I don't even know what I would do without mine. My in-laws are only 30 min away and they are wonderful as well. Family is such a blessing. I'm glad I really recognize that. I hear Seattle is a cool city. I have heard it's not the most fun place to live though. WET! I have some sister managers and a president based out of Seattle. I will be going there in May I want to visit for at least a day before heading out on an Alaskan cruise. I have all this stuff planned since way back....I just pray by body will cooperate with my mind. How do you do it ? When you know you have something you " have " to do ....how do you plan ahead and get it done. I'm in a leadership position and am really struggling to....go and be wonderful. Sometimes I just can't get there to do it. I'm just still trying to sort all of this out....Any insight would be great. I think it's really hard for some people to understand because I don't " look " like I'm really sick. Inside I ache, hurt and throb all the time....of course sometimes more than others....You know. I will pray that the house transaction and move go seamless and smooth.... You take care and I'll look forward to hearing back from you soon.

We will have the movers do the full move (Pack Move ect. We will have them even store our stuff until the house we bought is vacated (if necessary). I had already planned on going to visit my family around that time and If I stay here I'll just make myself sicker than I already am trying to help here and there, so I won't be here. My husband can do that stuff. The movers can pack it all and move it all. My dad and husband can do all the little touch up work and we will do any signing I need to do before I go or overnight mail or via fax. I'm really getting excited. I've wanted to be with them for years, but it is very hard to do a move like this when you are fighting for ssdi and LTD, etc. I have a few very good friends that will be missed, but nothing is like having your parents when you need them or following what you believe to be what God wants you to do. This dampness is not making it easy for me and I can not even think of another winter like the ones I've been having in the past. It makes it hard to even get close to get better in the summer, for example, this past summer, I had to fight swollen glands in my abdomen for over 7 weeks. And then about 4 weeks after that, my back started to get worse, so my Rheumy took some xrays and discovered that my back has bone spurs and that cause so much referred pain and now he is getting concerned that they may start to fuse together over time. Anyway it is the right decision for us and we are at peace with it. -- Re: conf .... I DO believe in God and will definately pray for you. I live in Arkansas which is a neighbor state to Tennessee. What part of TN are you moving to?

Here it is the middle of Oct and I'm facing yet another year of long winters in Wet soggy Seattle with no family support and flare after flare, illness after illness. Last weekend we made a decision we'd been thinking about for a long time. We are moving to live in the same town as our family - for those of you that believe in God and prayer. We prayed that if it was Gods direction, it would happen fast. We asked my parents to look at a couple of houses and see if they say anything that was 'us'. They called on Tuesday on Wednesday my husband flew back to look at it. He loved it. I trust him enough to know that he knows my taste. We made an offer and we are moving. I've been too sick to even try to go to the conference this year. So this year move to have the love and support of my parent. Next year - if god leads us to, We will hopefully be joining those that go to the conference. For the last 4 to 5 years, I have spent so many winters lonely, and it was already starting. My husband is the most patient caring, giving man I know and he needs to love and support of family too. So we are making the move. It's time - time to have that love surround us. I will have my Doctors here still be part of my team. They have already agreed to it. I am so at peace with this, Now it's just time to pray that our home here sells quickly so that we don't have to carry two houses for a long time. But God's hand is in this and if there is one area that I must grow it is trust. So it's a big step and Trust is where I will grow. I wanted to share this will all of you, even though I have never met - we all fight the same battles daily and I was looking forward to meeting those that would be at the conference. If any of you live in TN. Please let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 13, 2007 Report Share Posted October 13, 2007 That's pretty close. I really need my parents now - I've come to really lean on them. Seattle is a wonderful city in the summer, but starting in either Sept or Oct thru either April or May, it's a hard place for those of us with stills. Very hard. Leadership positions are awesome - I loved mined, but you have to make sure that you don't push yourself and start a flare by doing so. If you are going to do the cruise (which is awesome - GOD Inspiring - Incridible, etc. Etc. Etc.) and want to do things in Seattle, try to give yourself at least two days so you don't feel like you have to do it all at once - I can never do it that way. I usually have to be down, in bed by 1pm - I hurt too much. You have to take care of yourself to enjoy things. Now - everyone, just everyone, wants to do the Space Needle. But, I'm going to tell you to do the Tower. It's not as crowded, cheaper and the view is better. Not only that - you will get more history there then at the space needle. The Tower is the first High Rise built in Seattle and they have an Observation deck. When in Seattle - The Buses are Free within Downtown, So take advantage of them - They go all over the place and are clean and easy to use. The business people use them all the time, so if you aren't sure, just ask someone that looks like they have been working and they will tell you - they are very friendly - you will be surprised. The bus drivers will also usually be very friendly - not like New York or LA. Get bus schedules, etc. Taxis work well too... The other thing I highly recommend that people don't usually do is the : " DUCK " it's a bus/boat tour - and a great intro to Seattle. (The underground tour is OK, but just OK). In regards to how do I do it... I don't know.. I don't do much anymore. Other than Dr appts and occasional trips to grocery stores or get my presciptions filled, I'm pretty sick. My husband is my car taker. For about two years, I worked and pushed myself to just ignore it all. Tell my mind, it didn't matter that I was so sick. That I had to have my lights off in my office or that my fever was 102 and rising. Or that when I would stand up at the office I'd need time to stretch before I could move. I'd have lines of people at the door and when I got home, all I could do is stay in bed. Finally, between my Dr and my husband, they got me to see how sick I was making myself and asked me if Leading my department was that important to me of if my life was more important. It was hard. Life is hard. Every decision we make is HARD. I have to trust in God and trust is hard for me. Everytime I think I have all of my trust issues nailed, something else happens to make me question do I? But no one ever said life would be easy. We weren't promised that, but I think we all wished we were sometimes. Well, anyway, I need to take a nap - I think it's you that I have to say - how do you do it - because you are working and I wonder - wow -- Amazing - I couldn't do it.. -- Re: conf ....
