Subject: [JFC]: Just checking in
Hi everyone,
I think I am back among the living
again. I had a pretty good bout with the FMS and CFS. When it hits
it is like a case of the flu. The ache all over, headache, etc. I think
the worst for me is the totally exhausted feeling, even when I am lying down,
and the feeling that your body is too heavy to even turn over in the bed.
But, I am finally coming out of it again, and ready to get back to this
de-cluttering project. Since I didn't have anything else to deal with,
my glasses got broken and since I don't have a spare pair, I am going around
blind until the new ones are done. They have to be sent off (none of
this 2hr wait stuff) because of the way the lens have to be ground for me.
On top of that--my appointment to see this doctor about a little sore on
my forehead was yesterday afternoon. He is pretty sure it is cancer.
We will know for sure after the biopsy. I just couldn't ! deal
with that yesterday so I have to call back in and set an appointment to get
the biopsy done. This doctor does plastic and reconstructive surgery so
I was really surprised when he said I would have a scar. He drew a
diagram on my forehead and handed me a mirror to see the area he would cut
out. But if I don't have the surgery I will really have a
scar plus it is not very far away from my left eye. So when you guys say
your prayers--say one for me.
Before
we left town yesterday (dh was driving me, since I can't see to drive without
glasses) I picked up a stack of clear storage boxes and a big package of
manila folders. Now I have no excuse for not sorting papers and supplies
in the dreaded office/studio. Which reminds me---when the
eye doctor was checking my eyes he informed me that he can see the beginnings
of cataracts in my eyes. I felt like kicking him in his shins. Like I
really needed to hear that yesterday. That's a very bad thing to tell
anyone, and especially someone who has struggled for years to get to a point
to be able to devote some serious time to painting.
I notice there's not been much
activity on the JFC list. I hope that means everyone is just busy, busy, with
no time to post.
Speaking of
busy---guess I better get to it.
Love to all
Mary M. in La.
