Praying, sweet Connie!  I know you feel like you are drowning right now, but just remember that every cloud has a silver lining.  It may not be apparent right now, but God is in control.  I know you love Pam like a sister. Maybe by focusing on Pam and her needs, you will be able to overcome your depression.  When we serve others, we serve God.  Keep a positive thought and pray for strength daily.  You will find a way to turn this negative into a positive.

Hi Trish and my OFF family:

Good luck with the tickets. I too have put off some business I need to take care of soon. I usually have not been a procrastinator, but lately my mind is not so focused. I'm just focused on pain. My knee is a little bit better today, but not much. I can stand a little bit more; I slept a little better. But as soon as I got out of bed and on my feet, the knee started hurting. I really don't want to change my surgery date because I'm trying not to inconvenience my coworkers (August is a busy vacation month), so I'd rather stick with my date. I just want something to help me deal with the pain and keep me on my feet.

I called my knee doc; his nurse said he's in trauma surgery all day but she would contact him and see what he could do to alleviate this pain until surgery. I told her what strength vicodin I was taking. Geez, I feel like a druggie. I don't want to seem like a drug seeker. I am just in so much pain.

Amazing, it's cooler here today ... only 88 degrees. Still a/c weather but liveable at least.

Carolyn, hope you win with your lottery ticket. Connie, glad everything is OK with your friend. Vickie, enjoy your solitary moments. Nancy, sorry about your MIL. Glad to see you posting again. Carla, hope you get to Denver in time to see your friend. I know how important that is ... have been through that with a couple of friends (one I got to see before she died; then there was my friend Margie who died suddenly and I never got to say goodbye ... found out about her death on FB because her daughters didn't have the sense to call me, even though they knew how much I cared about her).

Anyway, I need to get in the shower and have lunch. Have a good day.

Thanks Eileen. However, things aren't good at all for my friend Pam. She is still seeing double. She has tingling and numbness on her right side, especially her head, tongue etc.. She stumbles when she walks and slurs her words. We are waiting for spinal tap results. Still not sure if it was a stroke, MS or Limes Disease. It is so hard to see her like this. She is a Physical Therapist. Just too sad!!

Praying you got some pain relief today!!

Love and hugs....connie d

Oh, sorry, Connie, I didn't read your original post. That doesn't sound good. My friend Rox had Lyme disease (along with hyperthyroidism and low B-12 ... a triple whammy) three years ago. She is a very active mom of two our age ... imagine ... she has a 15-year-old and a 10-year-old ... and suddenly she couldn't even walk up one step. Hope your friend gets some answers.

No relief from the doc ... he was in trauma surgery all day. His nurse promised to give him the message. I just keep taking pills, using ice, trying to move around my legs.

Eileen...I am so sorry about your friend. How awful and to have young children besides. I will add her to my daily prayer list.

Sorry you didn't get any relief today!!

Oh, that was two-three years ago, and she's much better now. She got mega- antibiotics, B-12 shots and thyroid pills (and this for a nurse who doesn't like taking pills or getting her annual physicals). She's too feisty to get sick.
