Just about to get myself cleaned up for Round One - with the doctor...that's going to be a long one as he has booked me in before his surgery starts. I am squirming already...<BR/><BR/>May_be: Lovely quote by Camus. Thank you. I shall make a note of that one.

I don't know if I have anything 'substantial' to say apart from that I'm reading it and thinking of you.<BR/><BR/>Actually I was thinking the other day of this blog and your honesty in getting things down on paper and out and it made me think of this quote I have stuck above my dresser at home which says "In the depths of winter I finally learned there was in me an invincible summer" and is by Albert Camus. The power in your words makes me see your invincible summer, I hope you find it for yourself. <BR/><BR/>much lovemay_behttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18337308682342595459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435907928209310248.post-59680262436543026712008-10-06T05:57:00.000+01:002008-10-06T05:57:00.000+01:00Totally agree with linda.

It's not something which crossed my mind at all. I wonder if, also, it has had anything to do with the adverse reactions I have had to some of the drugs he has prescribed me??<BR/><BR/>Yes, possibly all this confrontation and getting it out in the open is unsettling me. I know, sometimes, I am sick and tired of talking/thinking/writing about it, and even returned to HME to write about something a bit less gloomy!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for your words of wisdom, though - and your consideration. It's greatly appreciated.Agnes Mildewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09851062037702982772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435907928209310248.post-14227815782476514432008-10-05T11:13:00.000+01:002008-10-05T11:13:00.000+01:00I wonder, perhaps, if you have sustained a level o...I wonder, perhaps, if you have sustained a level of nerve damage due to your ongoing health issues. I mean, nerve pain hurts. You cannot sit down without pain. And it takes ages to heal. I have foot drop (fortunately only 10% now) due to residual nerve damage after weight loss. <BR/><BR/>Do you think that all this confronting your feelings and actually talking about it is causing you to be so much more unsettled? This in turn is leading you to react in the only way you know how - as though your body is attuned to your emotional state and reacts accordingly bringing you along for the ride irrespective as the whether or not you want to go.<BR/><BR/>Your stomach will have experienced a great deal of trauma and has to be retrained. This problem is totally separate from what is going on in your head. It is not within your control as such and I think you have to be very patient and gentle with each step of the way. Don't let it get to you. Just nibble a bit, relax, expect all sorts of new problems as you work on getting better. <BR/><BR/>Don't lose heart. All this is hard work. You are in really early, early stages and will feel most uncomfortable within yourself. Just go with it. Tell the therapist exactly what is going on. Don't tell her what you think she needs to know, tell her how you feel. She may well be able to give you a few eye opening tips to help.<BR/><BR/>As long as you are getting out of bed, attending to personal things, eating a few little meals and brushing your teeth twice a day - the rest is a bonus. Take it easy and good luck with the therapist.lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05392205573326695683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1435907928209310248.post-61453164671565736092008-10-04T23:46:00.000+01:002008-10-04T23:46:00.000+01:00I can't think of anything to say.
