My Companion, My Pain

I am so thankful to be back on Blogit. I can share feelings here, I know that someone will understand. A I watch my boyfriend fight with the progression of Parkinson no matter how small I find that during these moments is when I'm the most angry with my illness. I want so much to care for him and...

I have learned that if I am going to have a life I have to push through the pain. Last night was one of those times. For those of you who are new, I'm a paranormal investigator and recently started my own group. Last night I had a case to do at nine thirty. My boyfriend and I had been waiting for...

Well it looks like I am going to take over the support group for our arthritis. Now one else wanted to. I don't either but there is such a need. I hope I'm up to the task. A couple of friends are going to help me, so it should be okay. Sign in to see full entry.

I battle daily my pain. Do I or don't I take pain meds? If I don't will the pain get out of control. If I wait will I realize that I don't need them after all. Weds. I see a pain doctor, I have mixed emotions, I am afraid of what he'll say. What if he decided that I don't really need more meds. What... Sign in to see full entry.

I have an appointment with my doctors tomorrow. I am looking forward to telling him how I'm doing. I think I'm improving in some ways. I found a lump in my neck today though and that kinda concerns me. If it's not one thing it's another. I am also upset to hear that my grandsons doctor is starting... Sign in to see full entry.

My health was tested yesterday. My daughter started school and I spent my first day with my grandson. He had a doctors appointment. I got him ready to go and left him in the living room while I got my sweat shirt. When I came back what I saw made me want to cry. He had opened his cherry limeade... Sign in to see full entry.

Our doctor spoke at our support group meeting last night. When I got home I started to think about how I'm really doing. I always take each day as it comes and I decided that maybe I should take a look at the bigger picture. I realized that over all I have improved in the last year. I'm not...

My daughter and I went to a cavy show today. I had a hard time getting out of bed to go. When I got going I was looking forward to it. Then I got there and started running out of energy. It was fun to see my old friends and look at all the cute cavy's. I would love to show again. But not having a... Sign in to see full entry.
