It’s not an excuse.
Actually, it is.
But I’m not posting today. I’ve got a couple of posts that I think I kind of like, and they’re waiting to be finished. But not today.
I’m having an MS relapse. Or attack. Whatever you want to call it. I had to start another round of IV steroids last night. And the relapse is making me tired. So tired that it is difficult to imagine moving. And the steroids make me not sleep. And every time I move I get an electric jolt that feels like somebody attached cables to my head and is trying to jump-start me. It hurts. A lot. It makes me black out a little, sometimes. And my balance is more than a bit questionable. I tip, I fall, I trip over the boys. My legs are bruised. And Jeff has a crazy schedule this week and won’t be home to speak of until Sunday.
No, no posting. Except I don’t want to not post because I don’t want you to think I’m dropping out again. No. But reality dictates. I have to focus on the kids and on sleeping and the rest will wait. I have to wait.
And I hope you’ll wait too.
Teresa,
This is sad to hear…I’m sorry you are in pain.
Oddly enough, I’m getting evaluated for MS next week; for a month now, three fingers in my left hand have been tingling/numb. It’s a scary proposition, but I’m not going to panic yet.
When were you first diagnosed? Did you blog about it? I’d like to read, if you did.
Hope the pain eases for you. I’m listening!
TKW– I just sent you an email. And thanks.
Roetta– Oooh, I just can’t slip one by you!
Technically, you did post though, didn’t you? lol. But seriously, you know we will wait for you!! Take all the time you need…and feel better. I’m thinking about you!
I’ve got your blog on my Google Reader for good!! Good luck this week.
Teresa, I am so sorry to hear about what you’re going through.
Your blog has been one of the gifts I’ve received through Momalom and I will be right here waiting to read more whenever you’re ready to write.
All the best wishes for good health – may you find sleep when you want it and energy when you don’t.
For what it’s worth, we won’t disappear. We’ll keep reading, thanks to Momalom introductions. Sleep. Yes, when it does its magic, it helps everything. And when it disappears, the world as we know it falls away.
Hope you’re feeling better soon! I have had bouts of steriods myself (for wicked uncontrolled asthma as a child/teenager) and can sympathize with the associated sleep problems. Extra soft gentle quiet healing love for today and the days that follow…
