Thursday Thoughts ~ Raw & Emotional!

As I sit here at the counter wanting to write a sweet nice blog post my head is reeling with tons of anxiety, physical pain, depression swirling around and trying to keep the nasty, unwelcome thoughts out of my head.

I want to scream and cry…my leg hurts so dang bad. Muscle cream is not helping, arthritis pain relievers aren’t touching the pain. It hurts to walk, it hurts to sit with my legs dangling, it hurts to lay down. It’s not my sciatica, it’s the muscle itself.

I’m trying to figure out finances…I hate money issues and they seem never ending. Ron work’s his butt off at Amazon and I’m feeling like a failure for not bringing in funds to our home. I would love to find a job that I can do from home because Ron works nights, it would be easier for us if I could work from home since we only have one vehicle. I’ve started checking into doing some classified substituting for the local school districts but what I’m finding out is that politics and who you know has more clout than experience.

I’m feeling so frustrated with myself – I have so many projects that I want and need to get accomplished but I can’t seem to get myself organized and structured enough to focus on more than one thing like crocheting and watching CourtTV!

I have always been so organized in my life with work, doing crafts, focusing on special projects but lately it seems like my mind can only focus on one thing and when my leg is hurting that I just want to cry and scream that takes over my mind.

I guess I’m just rambling…I’m not even sure what I really need in life? As I told someone I know in my head what I want and need and want to do yet I can’t seem to get myself to do anything…it’s just easier to sit on the couch, crochet and watch the craziness in other people’s lives.

Enough whining…going to make me a new To Do List and write everything down that I need to do, everything I want to do and what I need to be doing!

    Ali, believe me, I feel your pain. I’m in constant pain between this broken shoulder, and the crushed elbow. Dr won’t give me any more pain meds, and I still haven’t heard when the next surgery will be.

    We just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other. Money issues out the Ying here too. Even after Medicare and supplemental insurance I still owe a ton for all this crap. So don’t feel like you’re the only one.

    1. Oh Peggy I didn’t know you broke your shoulder…I am so sorry. When I broke my humerus bone in 2007, the ortho doc wouldn’t give me any more pain meds so I went to my PCP, who I had been seeing for years and he had no problem giving me a new prescription. Thank you for being an encourager to me!!!

  2. I don’t want to scare you, but have you asked about the possibility of a blood clot in your leg. If happened to mama in 2008. She had gone to a Dr. And chiropractor. Got so bad she went to the ER and they suspected it, did an ultrasound and were right. They make your legs hurt. Think about it. Love you!!

    1. Merel hadn’t thought of blood clots. I see the doctor on Thursday and will be discussing things with her then. Someone suggested it might be gout to.
