I am sooooo exhausted today. I've had a cold (or maybe allergies) for a week now and I am feeling so run down. I've dreaded going to the gym the last couple of days and that's not like me! I just did 50 minutes lower body weights and abs. I'm so glad I went, but it was sure tough. I don't want to rest though because I have my vein closure next Thursday and that will keep me from exercising at least two days if not more. I'll probably only be able to walk for the first few days.

Next Wednesday is Kindergarten orientation and I go back for my liver count test to be redone. It will be a busy week.

Hey Sunny,

You need to rest. I know that you will have to take time off related to surgery next week, but please listen to your body.

I didn't realize you have a soon to be kindergartener too. am excited and dreading it at the same time.

Have a fabulous weekend and a Happy Mother' Day,
Beth

Hi Sunny!

I hope you are able to get some rest and relaxation in this weekend. I hope you feel better soon.

Take care! Happy Mother's Day!

Hope you're feeling better by the time you read this. BTW, Happy Mother's Day!

I know you don't want to hear this, but listen to your body. Do a bit of down time, you will come back so much more refreshed. It doesn't mean don't work out, just find a different workout for a few days. Enuf said!

So, the the little guy is having orientation this week. Good luck with that. He'll love it. That's what is so cool about the 2nd child.

Also, good luck with the surgery on your veins. I hope all goes well. You know that your WISH friends will be rooting you on for a speedy recovery.

Well, I just wanted to drop by to say "hi!" Take care Sunny!

Hi Sunny!!

I'm chiming in with the others...listen to your body!! Taking some time to rest and rejuvinate will not hurt your body. It gives your body a chance to recover and greatly lessens the risk of muscle stress injuries. So utilize this time to allow your body to refresh itself so you're feeling stronger and better oncec you get back into "workout mode." Take care hon!

I hope you have a great day!!!

Hope you're feeling better soon, catch us up when you get a chance...

Hi Everyone

I had my vein closure yesterday. It really hasn't caused much discomfort. I went for a 3 mile walk today without any trouble. I should be able to run again by Thursday.

In the OR I heard someone say "she must be an athlete" and another responded, "she's a runner". Then someone mentioned an athlete who's resting pulse is 29 and I responded in my grogginess, "I didn't think that was humanly possible". Then someone said, "well your's is 38!". Then I went to sleep with a smile on my face My other NSV (Non Scale Victory) was that the johnny wrapped all the way around me with room to spare!

But the night before my surgery, DD15 was in a car accident. The driver was charged with DUI. She's alright, but she was kept in the hospital over night and they did cat scans and xrays. She continues to make bad choices and I know its not over yet. One of the nurses asked me if I have tried to get her help (knowing that the kids in the car where all intoxicated). I wanted to scream (not at the nurse,she wsa just being kind). I spent all of 2003 and most of 2004 trying to get her help. Taking her to programs and therapy and battling with the insurance company to get services (not to mention gaining 65 lbs from the stress). No one can help her until she wants help, and she doesn't want help yet. So we continue to live in this unrest and the whole family must endure the consequences of her actions. I feel like a prisoner. I have no control. Luckily DS4 doesn't know anything about it. I want so much for him to have a normal childhood and not constantly live through her drama/trauma. I know I'm talking very harsh, but its been really rough. The first few trips to the ER I was a basket case, but I've become numb. The fear, doubt, guilt, worry was destroying me. I refuse to let it continue to destroy me. I think I have finally put to rest the "where did I go wrong" and "what ifs" and just accept "this is how it is".

I've also been so busy, totally overloaded at work and bringing work home. I just can't keep up with journals. I hate not feeling connected. I hope things get back to normal soon

Sunny

Oh Sunny...

I am so sorry about the situation with your DD. Please know that she and your entire family will be in my prayers.

I am happy to hear that the vein closure went well. I'm not really sure what that entails, but it sounds wonderful that you are up and walking already!

Sunny, my heart just goes out to you about the situation with your DD. Please know that you can come here and vent anytime. If you need a shoulder to cry on or just someone to listen, we are here for you WISH sis.

Please be sure and take very, very good care of you.

 

[Strings]

Sunny,

First, I am glad that the surgery went well. Congrats on the NSV. That is awesome.

Second, I am sorry that your struggles continue with DD. You are absoluely right, she needs to want help. I know that you will be there for her when she is ready. I am proud of you for not letting this stress derail you. You are a strong ad brave woman.

Dont' worry about journals. We'll all be here when things settle down.

You will be in my thoughts and prayers.
Take care,
Beth

Just got back from a long weekend at DM's.

So sorry to hear about DD, hopefully she will begin to make better choices soon. You are a trooper to stay focused and so glad to hear that the little bro is unaware of what's going on... God, life is so hard sometimes...

You are doing great to keep on track, that will help her too in the long run!

Sending some happiness you way!

 

[toystoryduo]

Hi Sunny!

Stopping by with some , prayers, and for you today. I hope that you have a wonderful day today.

 

[mking624]

((((Sunny))))

I'm sorry about your DD. Sooner or later she'll come to the realization that the only future she's hurting is her own. Sometimes that means her hitting rock bottom, but sometimes rock bottom is where some people need to go...because then there's only one other way to go and that's back up. I'm keeping you all in my prayers!!
