I'm glad to hear you are doing a bit better. it's an awful place to be sometimes, and the struggles that you face in getting things done can be so overwhelming that it piles up and piles up and then you really can't face it...that happened to us this past week...we had laundry from six weeks ago that wasn't done because we just couldn't move off the couch. a friend came over, took all our laundry, went to the laundromat and came back with it all clean and ready to be put away. what a blessing that was, and now we have tons of clean clothes, sheets, blankets and other necessities. we have come to the conclusion that we DO need help in the house, keeping it tidy and helping us with laundry, etc., so we are looking into getting help from the local welfare office for that. we shouldn't have a problem with that since we have physical limitations as well. sometimes we just sit and cry because of all the things we should be doing, but just can't bring ourselves to do. our friend from church has been so strong for us, helping us in every way possible, and even took us to our facet injections appointment, waited in the waiting room for it to be over (it took about 2 hours) and then took me to their house to recoup for the day. they did laundry again at their house. i can't ever repay them for their kindness, so i do try to give them gas money and pray for them for blessings for reaching out to us. suffice it to say we understand where you are, and are hoping things will turn around for you. you deserve to be affirmed and valued as a person as much as everyone else does.
take time to pamper yourselfs, and remember, we are all here waiting to sit with you while you cry, listen to you when you talk, and hold your hand when you are too weary to do anything else but cry...
soft hugs and prayers, Beth
