Finding The Strength To Continue

[Nicolette]

I am so tired of working so much. I am tired of being sick and the doctors going around in circles. All the recent medical reactions have frustrated me as I have lost time with work making that stress greater.

I am plodding through but I've lost my strength to carry on right now...... I guess it's like the PTSD struggle at times - one step forward, ten back. Ugh!! Blah!

Normally nothing beats me and I don't give up but I have never before been so tired. I want a holiday.... just to sit somewhere warm without having to keep up appearances or commitments and just chill. Anthony thinks I would just stress about work the whole time but today I just feel like walking away. I want a life and don't want it to be work, work, work.

My strength and drive has been rattled beyond what I can pull together now and I feel like I am letting so many people down.

I think I need to go and give myself some upper cuts and go back and get out of the other side of bed.

Time to go try making lemon vodkas out of these lemons again!

Sorry, no words, I am silently screaming, fed up with it all. But there is no option, one breath after another, one minute, one hour, one day, endless but must carry on. So tired.

(((Nicolette))),

You just underwent major surgery and a drug reaction. It is no wonder that you are tired and that is pretty normal. I know how hard it is when you have your own business to take time off, but in the long run, having some time will let you get back up to speed faster.

Is there anyway to have someone help fill in, even for a few hours a day, so you could cut down the time required? Sorry you feel pressured, especially when you are not feeling well.

Yes, if my lovely wife didn't have all these medical appointments, then we would have been on a cruise by now for a week so she could just unplug from the world. They are cheap, cheap, cheap at present...

I think that is the only way I will get her to unplug from technology, by removing it from her on a big boat where there isn't mobile reception in the middle of the ocean for her to hang upon her mobile or be called by anyone.

Have you ever heard the saying, "I'm not responsible for what you heard, ..I'm responsible for what I said." :D Well, anthony, I just heard you promise Nicolette a week long cruise right after her upcoming medical appt.'s.

To avoid PPPP you really better :roflmao: get started arranging and planning this cruise you promised Nicolette and to start doing so shortly. ;)

Nicolette, I'll be your witness to what I just now heard promised. :)

:confused: (Just in case you don't know, PPPP stands for piss poor prior planning). :)

You could always just push her (nicely) into the car Anthony, just take one switched off phone with you for emergencies, and take her off somewhere for the day, or ever over night somewhere.

Have it booked and her bag packed for when she gets home one night. May not be the cruise you both need, but it just might give you both chance to breath for a get your breaths back for the next round.

Thanks for the hugs Deb. Unfortunately not but clients and Australian Taxation Office are being great. It's just hard as it's the most demanding time of year. Should have got sick at Christmas when everyone is on holidays.

Listen to your body (and Anthony) and rest when you need it.

Going away for a weekend sounds great. H did that for me once, he planned the whole thing, packed for me :eek:, arranged dog sitters, he even phoned my boss who was in on the whole thing. So that when H arrived at the office 3 hours before I was due to finish, my boss was able to smirk and say, yes go and have fun.

He wouldn't tell me where we were going, I guessed as we drove nearer. He'd booked a sea view suite, in Hermanus where we could watch whales from our balcony. - bliss.

Yeah, when I was deathly sick and had 7 docs pumping me full of Rx meds and scratching their heads... I wanted a vacation too. I wanted to avoid and get away... but the problem was, anywhere I went, my illness went with me. (((Nicolette)))) Honey this too will pass, do what you need to do to build yourself up in between procedures... then you and Anthony can plan a wonderful celebration vacation??? I hear your frustration...it is tough, but you are tough too.

Doesn't it just suck the timing our bodies have to pull something like this??

Thinking of you,
peace and much healing your way,
