Hey Joyce,
I'm still in DC but will be returning home tomorrow. I am having some technical problems on my page and I am unable to send or receive messages. Please welcome the new BB member to the group; his name is Chris. I am waiting for assistance from aarp and hoping they can fix my problem from their end as I can't even see the edit button!

God gave the knowledge to the docter to heals or to try to heal so what you do is your part is pray and keep the faith and faith can be the size of a mustard seed and believe and also be very postive that you are going to get better.and inventable it get better because god is the more postive thing in everyone life included your ,in proverb 23:7 it tell you For as he thinketh in his heart so is he. So have good thought about yourself and it will happen.Cookie64

Thank you for your comments. I talk to God a lot about so many things. I'm having a good day today. Very little pain. I guess I don't trust doctors because none of them has told as of yet what is causing my pain. Even though I don't trust them, I have to keep going. Maybe one day, one of them will tell me something.
You have a blessed day
You have a blessed day

Well sis,
Having lost my Mom in '04, I know some of the pain that you're in. The one thing that I took away from that long slow painful walk with my Mom during her last days on earth - is that the caregiver needs care!
When I began to get very ill, I realized that I had to begin to reverse that or, I would be *with* my Mother sooner than I thought. I began by telling people *no* when I felt over-burdened. It's such a small and powerful word but, it helps you to eek out a piece of life just for yourself.
Next. I booked myself into one of the finest spa hotels in town for 3 days. Only my son knew where I was. When the staff asked where I was from and I told them that I lived here in the city, but needed to get my life back on track - They lavished me with goodies. They upgraded me to a suite, complete with Champagne and a gift basket filled with all kinds of goodies and Smooth J****CDs!
My nerves were raw! I was in so much emotional pain that for the first night I couldn't relax and thought I'd have to call 911! But, I got into their jetted tub in my room - (it was so big that I nearly drowned and ruined my get-away, LOL). But, I stuck it out and gradually, I began to feel better. The next day, I booked a full massage.
I gave myself that weekend and I'll never regret it. My *soul* needed it. - I highly recommend some pampering for you. Just do it. Let someone take care of *you* for a little while.
