We're moving on up

I apologize for not posting for a couple of days, and for causing so many of you to wonder how the "big" day went. It went very well. I however, did not. I made it for nine hours on Wednesday, then I "wimped", and had to leave. I was back to not being able to walk ten feet, just like last fall, before my surgery. I am not much better now, actually. I went in to work yesterday, told my DM that I would quit if she preferred, or that I needed a couple of days off to try and get my strength back. She agreed to the latter, so I am off until Monday. I pray that my strength returns, because as of now, I can't make it up the stairs again. This is scaring me, I have already been "fixed", there are no more procedures or surgeries left to help me. I will NOT go back into that damned chair. And I have to try and move tomorrow. Some days, I wonder why I bother to try. Seriously.

I wish each of you a great day today, it IS Friday. I will be around as much as possible, when I am able to walk, I need to be trying to pack. Don't give up on me, I'll get back to my regular posting and reading schedule once we are settled. :)

Hey there. Us? Give up? Are you nuts?

Oh no Jamie...that's the worst possible news and what a time for it to happen too. I hope your move goes smoothly and maybe once that's over you can relax a little.

Like abbagirl says "Are you nuts"?

Happy weekend and I do hope this new place will mark the beginning of better things to come.

I think you might just be the hardest working person I've ever (almost) known! I'm SO glad to hear you are taking a few days off. I hope it will be enough time to get you back where you need to be. I know you have to move this weekend.... but please try take it easy where you can. Things should settle down after the move. Gawd! I feel like I'm right there with you, but helpless, because I can't actually help. ACK! I wish I could help. ac

Jamie, I'm so sorry that this is happening. I don't know how you manage to carry the load you carry. Rest as much as you can and take care of you.

Don't worry that we'll forget you - we loves you and wants you to be well. You're in my prayers.

Aww, sweets - I'm so sorry - I hope the kids are helping you guys move. I'm sure you know you should be doing NONE OF IT!

I hope things go smoothly.

Oh, dear. Oh, Jamie. I have been there. I know that sick to your stomach feeling when it all comes back and you thought it had gone forever. Hang in there...it got better before. It can improve again.
