Missing You

Hi Everyone,

I wish to thank you all from the bottom of my heart for all your good wishes and your prayers.

I am  making slow progress.  At least I can turn over in bed now without yelling out in pain but I am still finding it very painful to walk with the pain in my right hip and sitting here is very difficult and unpleasant.  I have also had to cut back on the painkillers because they are upsetting my stomach.  It seems to be taking a very long time this time.  I have never gone quite this long without a big improvement. Having suffered back trouble for years, this is not the first attack that I have had but it seems to be hanging on and hanging on.   When Mike had sciatica a few years back he was laid up for months so I know it can take a while.

However, with Christmas looming I am sure you will appreciate how very down and low I am. Normally we start putting up our decorations on the 1st December and, feeling as I do right now, I just do not see how I am going to do it yet I know I have to and want to because this will be Nathan's first Christmas so I want it to be extra special.

I also have to see the doctor and get my blood pressure checked and get all my prescriptions authorised so I do not have to worry about those over the holiday season.  It is impossible right now as I would not be able to sit in the car to get there.

Mike has been reading me your messages and they have meant so much to me.  I have been missing you all so much and miss doing my journal as well so at least I have made the effort to sit here long enough to do this entry.

I ask for your continued prayers and kind thoughts.  God willing, this attack will disappear as quickly as it came and I will soon be going out again and back on the computer and all my friends. I only hope I am not going to be stuck like this indefinitely or be left with a permanent bad hip.

I shall certainly have a lot of catching up to do with all your journals when I do get back properly. In the meantime, thank you all so much, once again.  You are wonderful people out there in journal land and mean a lot to me. God bless you all.

 

P.S. I wanted to add that while I have been laid up, the duck has been at it again and has now gone into hiding!! We are now also sharing our home with a Panda, a Polar Bear, a Tiger and an Elephant. Help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I might post a piccie when I am up to getting one done.  Let me know if you would like to see one.
