I got awoken by child, so now I am up... thought I'd write in here and try get sleepy again, plus I have good news to report. This last flare up seems to be subsiding some. Today I noticed I woke in a little less pain, wasn't near as fatigued, and the pain had eased a great deal Thank the Lord! I did however notice that my gait or walk is different, it has yet return to normal. I'm in moderate pain as of this minute but hope to get back in bed soon and sleep it away.
Speaking of sleep during this last flare up I found myself going to bed at like 5 or 6 pm and sleeping until at least 9 am, one day even later than that. That's a lot sleep!! :o) Really.
Brian was a wee bit more understanding this time. Guess it's hard to break old frames of mind or thoughts, attitudes, behavior or whatever it may be. He made a few remarks but then apologized soon after them all. I tink he really saw or payed some attention this time to my slow deteioration, fever, sleeping, not eating, crying spells and loss of interaction with him. And now he has seen today that I am coming out of it some more and sleeping less and eating.
Anyhow, guess I need to go. Just wanted to write this down and say a few words to God as I always do at the end of my journal entries.
Dear God, thank you Lord for carrying me thru this. Thank you for all the moments of peace and ease and Mercy you granted me. Thank you for touching my husband and opening his eyes and heart more. Thank you for my family who was able to help me with the kids for the past week. I know you put everything in line and in place for me, it was comforting. Thank you again Lord. And Lord right now, I want to pray for all those on here that are right now having their worst pain, their lowest points and are not finding comfort. I pray for you Lord to please be a Merciful God and grant them the small moments to catch ther breath and stay strong against this emotionally as well as physically. And lastly, I pray for the families of all of here, please keep them safe and let them not worry too much- let them know You do have a Plan. I love God & thank you. Amen

i say this from my own point of view
it is very difficult for a loved one to watch a person they care about to be in pain it changes them makes them feel helpless and when they are not in pain themselves they just cant figure it out but in time and as they gain greather understanding and eduacation about the reason for the pain a more helping attitude comes along.
i hope u feel better for longer this time and i hope u get to enjoy things as they should be
take care
