================================================ Subject: [ Creed Discuss ] NCR my drama From: Jen Hessenthaler To: Creed Discuss Temporary Replacement Date: Thu 17 Jun 2004 13:02:21 -0500 ================================================ So we need some conversation? Okay, so it's time for a confession. Ready? This is kind of depressing, and shameful. I've been taking pain killers and muscle relaxers for 3 years for my fibromyalgia, scoliosis, and sciatica. Last weekend I was given an ultimatum, because my kids were gone and I wanted to have some fun, and over did it. I have never used it recreationally, but this weekend the stress was very overwhelming because of some trouble at work, and the pain is worsened by such stress. So I just let it all go, and took more than I should have. Rich told me he was leaving. So I flushed everything I had. Then I called my doc, and told him no matter how much I beg, he is not to call anything in for me. I felt pretty rough until yesterday, I had a pretty okay day. Today the pain is pretty intense, and I"m having trouble sitting here at the desk. I have to keep taking breaks to go lay down on the heating pad, which is not good because I need to be sitting here making money. I kind of think this was a bad week to do it, because of the anniversary of my husband's death, and the wedding anniversary, and father's day and all...but I also think it was the right thing to do. So keep me in your prayers, and give thanks that I'm doing as well as I am. And that I find an alternative solution for this pain. Because it is preventing me from caring for my children the way I should be. But Rich and I are discussing marriage, and thinking of October or November as a date, so then I'd have insurance. Until then, I'm stuck to taking 12-16 ibuprofen a day, which barely makes a dent in the pain. So wish me luck. Love you all, Jen _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@creedlisters.com http://lists.creedlisters.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
