For some reason, Moms are expected to be Wonder Women and to continue against all odds to accomplish so many tasks. It doesn't happen even for those of us without chronic pain and illnesses. LOL..I hate to say it but men are babies when it comes to health. That's why God chose not to have them give birth. You are so blessed to have wonder parents. My mom is pushing 88 and puts me to shame. I will pray for you and hubby.

Sometimes that works for me even when I'm not feeling so good. Today is a similar day for me. I'm not struggling with any of the things you mention here... other than just getting old (LOL) but I am not having the greatest of mornings on this end either. Yes, it's 1pm and still feels like I am only about 1/2 awake. LOL. I think you are handling your situation so well.

I know this is a tough situation to be in. I have been finding out what it's like to have both of us competing for 'who feels the worst' for the past nearly two years. It is not a fun contest to be in. I've discovered that even though I cannot step up and do all that my DH can no longer do --- I can support and encourage him through prayers and by allowing the Lord to make some attitude shifts in my heart. I need to remember all of the time that my DH is not used to having any physical disability that goes on and on and on. He is used to feeling sick or bad for awhile and then having a dx, a treatment and feeling OK again. His new physical problems and the lack of real answers and solutions have put him back where I was in the pre-dx days.<br>loving you<br>karyl<br>Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2750848569067701921.post-78957590465410223902007-03-24T14:36:00.000-07:002007-03-24T14:36:00.000-07:00(((Dawn))) I really feel your frustration...

You can work with pancreatistis. My last companion had it and would get bouts from time to time. A lot of pain. I read down through your journal today and learned you will bhe hostess to CarnivAOL. That's nice. I am going to volunteer after I have practiced making links from one word. That is essential and I haven't done it yet. I have chronic fatigue syndrome and the worst was feeling so habbled for such a long time. Now my limitations are just the normal limiations of most people my age. So they aren't as noticeable as they used to be, but I learned that I had to stay in my my limitation regardless or worse would follow. You cannot exerecise out of this as some seemed to think I could I had to take months to recover what strength was 'normal' for me. I am glad you called off that little dog. I told you I would be back!

If I lived closer I would be there in a heartbeat to help you out till Hubby was back up and around. Men do tend to feel as though they hurt way more than a woman does. The last time I had a lung infection , Doc got sick too. To make a long story short, he slept, moaned and groaned and was a complete child. Me? I waited on him, gave him medicine, took care of the animals and took care of myself. The irony was after a few days he felt better and was up and about and wanted to know how come I was still sick LOL! Men gotta love to hate them at times. Kids are resilient they tend to understand alot more than we realize. I think your amazing with your kids and if I didn't know about the Lupus and various other things going on with you, I would still think so. You have a world of love and patience.
