ellakc2 Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hi Everyone! I'm posting today to vent. I need some prayers for patiences. Everytime I turn around something else goes wrong. This Friday I have to get my esophagus stretched. Last Friday I put my lower back out and Iam walking around hunched over and in pain. Have to go to the Chiropracter tomorrow. Next week I have to go back to Ortho. surgeon for my shoulder. The last two items are not cancer related, but I'm so sick of being sick or broken. Everytime I get to the point where I can go out and do things, wham I'm back on the sofa on the heating pad. My insurance sucks and these things are nickle and diming me to death. I'm working overtime ( which I shouldn't be doing the Dr.'s would throw a fit) to pay the Dr.s. As Roseann, Roseann, Adana says. IT'S ALWAYS SOMETHING. I thank God everyday these test he is giving me are not cancer, but my patience are wearing thin. I guess I should count my blessings. Thanks in advance for listening and please pray for my patience to hold out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharyn Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Oh Ella, I am so sorry things are so cruddy right now... I am saying a prayer that things turn around for you quickly...

chloesmom Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Ella, I'm sorry to hear that you're having some rough times health-wise right now. Just to let you know you're not alone. I'm feeling like that right now too, but I am thankful that all my side issues with my health are not cancer. How's that for a world off it's normal tilt? I'm happy it's just a 'normal' underactive thyroid, happy that it's not endometrial cancer, happy that it's just muscle strain, etc, etc! But, it still feels like I'm spending my life with doctors and the people in their waiting rooms. It's truly like a part time job in addition to working full time, keeping all these doctor's committments. Sorry you're going thru this, but I can relate.

Ry Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Allow me to direct you to the pity party now going on at Fay's thread. Since its not noon yet we're on the Bailey's and coffee course... Believe me we can all relate to your frustration. Sounds like next week is going to be a busy one for all of us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Addie Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hang in Ella. Even the non-cancer related stuff can be plenty annoying....but remember, the Pity Party at the Pub is still going on. You have time to go vent AND tank up on chocolate which might help...eh? Hoping things take a turn for the better for you. Sorta know the feeling of overload these days....but hey, we still have today to get through and I'd rather do it with more laughs than not. How about you?

elnodel Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Ella, Talk about a bum deal...you've got it. If it's not pain, it's insurance. You definitely need to get over to that pity party and unwind a bit (if you can with the back pain...might be a bit tricky!). Vent away, any way you can; it's the only healthy way to deal with this. Hang in there! Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Wood Posted February 20, 2005 Share Posted February 20, 2005 Ella, don't ask the question!!! (What else can happen?) We've learned not to ask that question! Yep, it's a test of patience and trust. Hang in there! We know the feeling. Don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sorry that I know what you are going through..(all too well) As the little girl with the bloody nose said, "If it's not one thing, it's another." Stay strong and drink beer.

Fay A. Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hello, Ella, It's a beautiful, rainy morning here on the Central Coast of California. I hope that when you open your eyes it won't be so hard to find the beauty, and that today brings you relief. It can be down right overwhelming when we keep getting hammered with no real respite.

Tiny Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Ella- It's a rough track that you are on, but we are here to listen and help as well as we can. Sometimes just being able to vent a bit eases the overload. Take it easy and keep on keepin' on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
