Hi Marty, I just read your message and am smiling as you are so right. I have had times of depression, especially lately, but manage to laugh, smile, and get on with things. Right now I'm under home care from the local hospital as something happened to my left leg and I was in such pain and unable to move my leg. My son called the ambulance, and to make a long story short, I'm homebound right now. The leg seems to be better, but they still can't tell me what caused it to happen. I tend to believe it was a pinched nerve. That's as good as any of their thoughts. I missed all of my Christmas Parties with friends, and that was depressing, but I got over it. I saw my Onc. yesterday and was allowed to go to his office for that. My feet are so swollen that I could barely get a sneaker on to go. I had my husband drive me, but on the way, saw he was having difficulty seeing. It was late afternoon and getting dark. He can't see to drive at night, so I told him that I'd drive home, and, even with these feet was able to do that for him.
I do try to look at all of the good things in my life, and that isn't always easy, but......some how I manage to do that. The oncologist says that the increase in my Prednisone probably caused the swelling and I should take more water pills. My nurse tells me that I'm slightly dehydrated and need to drink more, so it's a laughable situation and at the moment don't know whether to increase the water pills or not. I guess this is why they call it the practice of medicine as they're all practicing.....including me!!!!!! You have such a wonderful attitude, and it is contagious. I'm busy working on my quilts and doing what I can to keep my brain busy. Everything else will take care of itself...with a little help. You take care, my friend. Life is full of challenges, and this is just another that I have to win. 18's to you Millie -- [CMLHope] A support group of http://cmlhope.com ------------------------------------------------- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "CMLHope" group.
