Hi to all....67 days and STILL counting..wow...what a ride..!!! Anyway..I might be down but this girl isn't staying down..I am much too stubborn and determined. it's going to take a h#ll of alot more than all this **** I have to deal with..God help me..lol I had to take a break this past few days (seems like forever) I miss all of you..I really was unable to form a complete sentence until Sunday...and thats when it happened....I decided to garden (my passion) and of course my family was very happy to see that because I haven't wanted or cared to do much. Anyway..i bent over to pull some weeds and blew my lower back out..Very painful to say the least..I have some problems with discs L-4&5 and my S-1 joint..I am thinking of going to the e.r and getting a few shots to get a control of it and maybe muscle relaxers..I definatey don't want a pain rx..I want also thank everyone for your kind words,support, love and concern..I am going to be ok..Thats the way it has to be..it's not over till it's over..I lost contact with my daughter but we will see what happens..thats all still a mess. I am trying to turn my energy in a different direction instead of going down!! Thanks to all of you..you have helped keep me sane (i think) lol  Much love to all of you..

I've told you before, and I'll tell you again. I think it's an understatement to say that you a a "double tough" lady.

As for the back pain... If gardening hurts your back, then don't do that. It's obviously destructive behavior. I was think about doing some of that myself, till I read your post. It'll have to wait.

Hi to all.... Hello Lisa,
67 days and STILL counting..wow...

That's real good.
what a ride..!!!    You are doing great.....
Anyway..I might be down but this girl isn't staying down..

That's a good attitude Lisa don't let anything get you down where you can't get up.... If you need our help we are all just a few key strokes away......

I am much too stubborn and determined.

It's good to see your determination, resiliance, stamina...... Good qualities.... And "still counting" shows you are looking tward the future...... That's just great.....

it's going to take a h#ll of alot more than all this **** I have to deal with..

You've had tougher struggles, some just were less important than the ones in front of you now....God help me..

He will.... He sends the rest of us to handle the things he knows we can help you with....

lol I had to take a break this past few days (seems like forever) I miss all of you..

Well we missed you too Lisa.....

I really was unable to form a complete sentence until Sunday...

I know exactly what you mean..... Can't find the right words. Nothing sounds right. Just gotta get away from it all.....

and thats when it happened....I decided to garden (my passion) and of course my family was very happy to see that because I haven't wanted or cared to do much.

That's good because that shows they truly care about you and love you..... Glad to see you got out......

Anyway..i bent over to pull some weeds and blew my lower back out..Very painful to say the least.

Without a doubt.

I have some problems with discs L-4&5 and my S-1 joint..I am thinking of going to the e.r and getting a few shots to get a control of it and maybe muscle relaxers..

Good idea that way you can be sure there is no further damage......

I definatey don't want a pain rx..I want also thank everyone for your kind words,support, love and concern..I am going to be ok..

you sure will, and you are well on your way so stay with it.

Thats the way it has to be..it's not over till it's over..Keep that level of control it makes things easier to deal with......I lost contact with my daughter but we will see what happens..  

.. Bows and flows of angel hair and ice cream castles in the air
And feather canyons everywhere, I've looked at clouds that way
But now they only block the sun they rain and snow on everyone
So many things I would have done, but clouds got in my way

(Judy Collins).



What a great thought..... Those cloud have to move some time and there are brighter days right behind them....


thats all still a mess.

Things are not always the way we would like them to be, but they are always the way that they are..... We cannot change the way they are only the way they are going to be.

I am trying to turn my energy in a different direction instead of going down!!

And we are here to try to help you do that....

Thanks to all of you..you have helped keep me sane (i think) lol Much love to all of you..

And you too Lisa, stay well,

Gator

HEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   I am really sorry Lisa...girl you got my digits....use em damn it!! LOL
Seriously though, I went through some major soul searching kind of BS and all that and it wasn't good. For the first time EVER, I opened up in detail about some horrid **** in my life that no one knows and it has been tearing me up forever. Tonight, I sit in a fetal position in my chair due to the pain in my stomach and yes, I can type a joke but man I feel like dying!!
