Hi,
So, this is what I've been brooding and brooding about for the last month.
Our grand daughter, Zoe, is going to have her Bat Mitzvah, in Michigan,(we live in VA.), at the end of June. Of course we want to go and are planning and hoping to go. However, I seem to keep developing new and uncomfortable health conditions besides my IC. These conditions are making me miserable and are so diffuse and varied that it's hard to know what to treat first, so in typical fashion for me,I've stopped doing anything,(excpet MRI for my bad back and knee). Also so tired I don't really have the energy to start with new docs and tests etc. etc. I know that's counterproductive, but I just can't seem to get my butt into gear.
The things that are bothering me are; my IC, though not terrible has gotten worse in the last couple of months , my cystocele, which had completely stopped bothering me is now really annoying, some, excuse me for this, rectal problems to include, sorry again, leakage, ugh, my back which is giving me fits and doesn't allow me to even walk very far,(I am working on this one), my knee which is sometimes so bad I can't put weight on it,(working on that too), and my usual, fibro, IBS, headaches, husband(that one is incurable)!!
and as I said earlier, general fatigue that is also getting worse.
Anyway, the thing is, how am I and my husband, who also has health problems and feels crummy most of the time, going to go to Zoe's Bat. M and be sociable with all the people who are coming, including some relatives I could live without seeing for my whole life, look nice and partcipate in the weekend,(actually, we are going up a few days early at our daughter's request), when all we both want to do is curl up and sleep, or maybe go for a short walk with the dog, and then sleep! To add insult to injury, people keep razzing us about whether we are going, since we have missed lots of family get togethers that were less important, IMHO. If one more person says to me, so are you going to Zoe's Bat Mitzvhah, or, boy are you going to be in trouble when you don't make it to Zoe's Bat M, hee hee hee
I'm going to punch someone in the nose!
I haven't even made flight reservations yet because I'm feeling so stressed about all this. I still need to find a dress, maybe loose some weight, get husband to buy some presentable clothing, and figure out how we're going to get my husband's BI-Pap machine,(much larger than a C-Pap), to Michigan, on a plane. BTW, really not looking forward to flying even though it's a very short flight.
I know this must all seem trivial given what some of you are going through, but it's eating at me, so I thought I would bother everyone about it.
If you're down here now, thanks for reading my whiney post!
