Hi Joyce.....Thank you for the lovely message that you sent to me. I think
that is why this site means so much to me. I can share and also receive
many good things from everyone.
I would give anything to be pain free for a day. I guess that isn't going
to happen as I do have severe arthritis and am in a wheel chair. Mostly I
mind it at night. During the day there are things to take my mind off of it
and I usually can cope with it then. I would like to be able to sleep
better, so perhaps going to an Orthopedic Doctor will help that issue. My
doctor will call me when she has that appointment set up. Mostly I do a
lot of needle work and that takes my mind to another place, which is good.
I would love to be able to play more with my little ones, and sometimes we
play chase tag when I'm in my chair. They hide, and I go find
them....mostly pretending that I can't see them, or find them. We do have
fun, but usually it means missing my daily nap, and I'm in need of that. I
called them today as New Jersey is under a state of emergency. They were
fine and just playing and having fun. They canceled school and that made
them happy. They had to cancel it here in PA too. At least in the eastern
section.
I do have so many health issues and I'm lucky to be here at all, so I take
one day at a time, and deal with things as they come. If I didn't do that,
I'd drive myself crazy. There are times it all gets to me, but I sincerely
try not to let it. I would rather find someone and help them. It's the way
I am. I often wanted to be a Hospice volunteer and, if I could travel,
that's what I'd do. There are so many people who just need someone to talk
to, and this site gives us all the ability to share. I just hope that I
don't bore people with my messages. I do enjoy hearing about what the
others are doing. It seems to take me away from what's wrong with me, and
I'm better able to deal with things.
At any rate, I do thank you for your wonderful message and I do appreciate
your taking an interest. If you want to, tell me about yourself and how
long you've had the CML. I'm a fortunate person as I've been dealing with
my cancers for 20 years now. I do believe that the meds have a lot to do
with the pain that I feel, but some was always there.
Have a wonderful New Year.
Hugs,
Millie

Millie,
I have been reading and monitoring your posts for awhile. You seem to have
more than your share of problems but you are bearing them with hope and
patience. I sincerely hope and pray that your doctors can find a way to
help you with your pain level. Pain has a way of taking its toll on a body.
In reading your account of having your family and young ones at the house, I
was reminded of a cartoon I once saw that showed a grandma with several
grandchildren getting into different things. The caption was: Dear Lord,
please give me the strength to endure all my BLESSINGS.......meaning her
increasing family. I have felt like that at times. It is always so good to
see the kids and grandkids come. And it is also good to see them go. They
do wear us out.
May the new year bring good things for you.
Joyce in IL
