overloaded with STUFF

[LATW]

There is so much going on right now and I guess I need to unload.
I had my sleep study this week and I am not sure what the tech said.  I was still so tired.  I know she said I did not have the same kind of apnea as my husband OSA.

She did say I had some apnea and hypopnea and low o2 levels.  I can not remember how often but she did tell me I would need a c-pap machine.  Now my question is do I have central sleep apnea since she said it was not OSA.  Must be because there are not other choices!

I am so tired, every time I sit down I want to sleep.  I have 5 children I need to get to church tonight and it just happens to be a night I am supposed to stay for a parent meeting.  

I HATE going out and around people who ask me how I feel.  I feel awful.  I don't want sympathy and I don't want to complain.  I just want to sleep.  My husband works second shift so it is just me.  My mom will be coming to watch my little guy but I have to stay from 6:30-8:00 pm and I tell you I do NOT have the energy.

My daughter is getting married this weekend.  275 guests.  Tomorrow my husband has to go get his tux and I have a few things I need to do.  Friday is the big prep day.  We have cakes to pick up, final shopping to do, rehearsal in the evening.  

Saturday is the big day.  

I have help coming in most days to help with the house and kids.  That is a story in itself.  Help is appreciated but sometimes more than I can tolerate.  

Next week may possibly be another sleep study and my MRI is on Friday.  At least I see the doctor the same day and he will give me my report.  

I am so frustrated.  Too over loaded.

Thanks for listening if you made it this far.

Weeding!!!! HAAHAH!!! that is funny.  she caught her washer on fire last night.  She got the fire out before it caused any damage to the house.  Good thing she was there when it happened!!

They are going to Miami on their honeymoon and was trying to get things washed and packed.

They have my old washer in their garage.  It is still in good shape. We gave it to them when we replaced it with a front loader.  

Needed that good laugh!

Wow, wow, you are amazing, I have three adult children 18, 20, 22 and they exhaust me and I don't have MS!

I hope you get some rest and enjoy your daughter's wedding.  Wow that sounds like hard work too.  I just hosted an engagement party here for my daughter and we had 70 guests and it exhausted me.

I could relate to the help as well, I guess it would be handy but sometimes it might be nice just to curl up in a ball and go to sleep and have your own space.

Thinking of you, my own moans and groans seem trivial now.

Cheers,
Udkas.

Even if you didn't have MS, anybody would be feeling tired looking after and taking care of so many children.

Please try and see if you can take some time out for yourself over the next 2 days, so you can really enjoy your daughters weeding.

Tray your best to get some sleep.

Ren- I was in total melt down earlier!  I think I did melt down because I feel better! :~}

SaveOne- that is funny!  Yes that is where I am at.  I just have to get through the next 10 days.  

Ess you are correct on the children.  I also have two grand babies, a son in law, and another very soon to be son in law! ;-} And thank you.  I think I need some sleep!

You sound thoroughly exhausted. Be sure and take care of yourself so that you can enjoy your daughter's wedding.

Don't feel guilty for what you can't accomplish.  You can only do what your body will allow you to do...it isn't a matter of choice.


Sending hugs and wishes for some rest for you,

Ren

Do you remember "Lost in Space"?  Every time that Will Robinson was in danger it was wave it arms wildly and say...."Warning, Warning, Danger, Danger, Run Will Robinson Run"!

I think that is were you are at.  Don't forget to take care of yourself.  terry

Actually LA has 7 children, 5(?) adopted, and the younger ones all have Down Syndrome.

I don't know how you do it, LA! Even mothers in perfect health would be exhausted just trying. Work on getting through the next week or two, that's all. If you don't make it to church, no one will judge you, including God. You're a wonderful mom.

Here's wishing your daughter a beautiful wedding. As soon as it's over, relax. Feel free to come here and tell us the good stuff as well as all your struggles.

Many hugs,
ess

wow... are you a busy lady.  so busy and things to worry you too.. is there anyway you can request a copy of the results from your family Dr... he/she should get the results copied.

I know how it is to go out and have people asking you all the time how you are.. but they are only being concerned and polite.  (I know that feeling)

do you have 5 children?  You sound so tired, wish I could help and let you have a long nap...

congrat on your dtr getting married

hang in there...
