Hi everyone By now most of you know Audrey has stopped treatment I am happy for her but sad for me She was my rock and now i sit here crying because i don't know anyone else. Audrey has promised to be there but I know once treatment stops you try to forget for awhile that you have this horrible dragon I had to stop tx last year after attemting suicide and then tried to get to my guns when it didn't work. I am on week six and am doing ok except for the small bout of pnuemonia. I am not suicidal or depressed but i really don't have anyone who undersstands what we go through i have 5 kids still at home and they all have thrie own problems because they are teenagers and don't care about anything else lol my husband trys to understand but when he sees me doing most of the normal thuings that a mom has to do he doesn't realize the pain I'm in and probably never will. You know what I'm going thruogh and GOD knows i need help sorry if it sounds like i'm a baby but this is the only way i have to vent Audrey and i corresponded everyday and i am going to miss that so please help me get through this

                        Thank you
                            Helen

I'D LOVE TO BE A SPECIAL FRIEND FOR YOU...IF YOU WILL HAVE ME? my e-mail is ***@**** PLEASE KEEP IN TOUCH... I'M UP THRU THE NIGHT ALOT OF TIMES TOO. IN CASE YOU NEED SOMEONE TO TALK TO. E-MAIL ME AND I WILL GIVE YOU MY PHONE NUMBER TOO. YOURS, TRULY, SANDI

i think it's time to lay it out to your family and tell them they must now pick up the slack so you can get the rest you need to be better. they are in there teens and can pick up alot of the responcibilities...IF YOU KEEP DOING ALL FOR THEM, THEY WILL NOT REALIZE YOUR SICK,,,  SHARING THE HOUSEHOLD RESPONSIBILITIES will also help them grow in areas like maturaty, thinking about others beside thereself... these are good things for husbands and kids to come to tErms with.

you have to cut back and rest alot... you are sick... you have a deadly virus... you want to be around for them later...IN ORDER TO SUCCEDDN YOU MUST HAVE REST...

time for tough love...THEN GET YOUR BLANKEY AND REST...IT'S ALOT EASIER THAT WAY...

the worst thing that can happen is the house will be a mess for a year, cause no one cooks or cleans like you do...but,this is not a life or death issue and is soon remedied after your off tx and feeling much better...

allow yourself to pamper yourself...this is your time ...and it's for thier good in the long run, TO LEARN TO CARE FOR OTHERS AND DO RESPONSIBLE THINGS...
THIS IS TRAINING THEM FOR THE REAL LIFE...

PLEASE CALL OR WRITE ANYTIME, YOUR LIFE IS VERY VALUABLE AND THAT IS OBVIOUS TO ALL ARROUND YOU, MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS TELL YOUR SELF THE TRUTH...THEY NEED A HEALTHY YOU... EVEN IF THEY MUST WAIT A YEAR FOR MOM TO GET BETTER...

Thank you so much for putting me straight I have not lost a friend and I will keep in touch through the forum and i have your e-mail addresses I was just feeling sorry for my self when I should be glad that soon Audrey's suffering will ease. Today I went back to work after the pnuemonia and believe me I t was hard I live In texas and the temp is already in the upper 80's no air conditioning on the buses but i can come home between 10 and 1 and take a nap. Had to get my blood done and tomorrow is shot no 6 Happy Birthday but i will survive and will continue to fight this I will check the forum everyday and offer all of you support to I am sorry to here you have relapsed cindee but I hope the trial will prove successful and not put you through to much torture. Yes my Children do help but they are a tough group I have a bipolar son with add and his own depression so It's drs for him al the time too. I think my other ones are just acting out because they are frustrated that I am so sick. I know have the mouth sores too they really hurt since I have a top plate and will not go to work with out my teeth lol. Indiana thank you for being so straight forward I am not alone my friend Chevy gal if you and  Audrey were close then maybe i'll be able to relate to you too. I hope so. I have just benn feeling the stupid sx alot lately and i'm afraid of what might happen if I lose anymore support. Here i go again feeling sorry for my self There you go shebee Gotta suck it up lol. Thanks again aqll of you and I love you too. we will do this I will do this!
