I've several topics I've wanted to write about but have been too sick to go there. I'm feeling so very "frail" and "fragile," terms I loathe and which I've never applied to myself until just recently. But the shakes and the shivers come on all day long, giving me a fifteen minute break here and there. This is without the usual "stuff" of ME/CFS and fibromyalgia, of course.
However, we've had a family crisis come up which seems to make all the other crises going on in our family "small potatoes." Without getting too specific, our daughter-in law and middle child are expecting a baby, due on February 14. Because the mother-to-be started running a high BP she needed to be admitted to the hospital. The latest news is that due to other complications she'll need a C-section and the doctor is going to try to delay the delivery until next week.
I always feel funny asking anyone for prayers or positive thoughts sent out to anyone on my behalf, but I guess this is the sort of thing a first-time grandmother-to-be ends up doing. The fact that they are literally halfway around the world in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia isn't helping. I'm frustrated because I'm too ill to fly out to help - after all, I did manage to go to their wedding in the summer of 2012.
I'm afraid this is all I'm capable of doing at the moment. Hang in there, baby boy. Keep strong my dear daughter-in -law. You're doing a good job, my own baby boy, who is now a man.
As always, I hope everyone is doing their best, only better! Ciao and paka.
Dear Irene my thoughts hopes & prayers are with you all. My wedding anniversary Feb 14 it will work out it has got too, you need some joy your body is putting you through so much you need this. You hang in there too tough cookie. Love and hugs xxxx Soph
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Sophie. The prayers are truly appreciated! xx
ReplyDeleteIrene, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. You will have a healthy grandbaby and your son and daughter-in-law will be great! All positive thoughts are coming your way.
ReplyDeleteMartha
Thank you, Martha! You're always such a source of support for me and it's always appreciated. xx
DeleteSending you lots of positive thoughts. I'm sure they will do all they can to help keep them both safe and I'm sure your son knows from years of experience of when people need to be hospitalized to help them should anything happen before the scheduled c section, which they clearly think is the safest option. Hold tight Irene and soon you will be a Grandma and can start pestering your son to come over and visit you.
ReplyDeleteKeep strong Irene,and lots of positive thoughts. I hope you start to feel much better soon aswell.

Aww, thanks so much, Sian. Yes, can't wait until I can pester them! ;) Thank you for your sweet words and support, sweetie. So wonderful to have heard from you & so many others, here and on twitter. Wonderful support system & I am cautiously confident that everyone's prayers & good wishes must do good! Healing hugs. xx
DeleteDear Irene,
ReplyDeleteIt never rains but it pours! So sorry you are going through this. Will keep you in my thought and prayers and all will be well.
Hope all goes ok with your colonoscopy. Not sure when it is but thinking of you.
Take care, Alpa xx
Thank you, Alpa. The colonoscopy is on the 9th. What joy! ;) xx
ReplyDeleteDear Irene,
ReplyDeleteI had "googled" the question: "Is an elevated sed rate normal for CFS patients?" and hit your site. Just wanted to say.... excellent writing and information. I hope that you sent a letter to the IOM for their perusal. I had sudden onset in '94 and had to quit my nurse manager career in '99 and have lived alone since while keeping abreast of all that is pertinent to CFS/FM as much as I am able. Fortunately, my nursing career allows me to understand most research articles (likely better at least) than a "layperson" ( a person with CFS lying in their bed). Ha! Anyway, thanks for the detailed info re: sed rates. I have signed up for your blogs. marcie myers

I was into conspiracy at the time thought of HIV/Herpes Cured' being a conspiracy was something Ignorance though,I found pretty interesting about herbal medicine. I asked questions about the Herbal cure's on official HIV/Herpes websites and I was banned for doing so by moderators who told me that I was parroting Hiv/Herpes propaganda. This reinforced my belief that there is a cure for Hiv/Herpes Then i found a lady from germany name Achima Abelard Dr Itua Cure her Hiv so I send him a mail about my situation then talk more about it and send me his herbal medicine I drank for two weeks.And today I'm Cured no Hiv/Herpes in my life,I searched for Hiv/Herpes groups to attempt to make contact with people in order to learn more about Hiv/Herpes Herbal Cure's I believed at this time that you with the same disease this information is helpful to you and I wanted to do the best I could to spread this information in the hopes of helping other people.That Dr Itua Herbal Medicine makes me believes there is a hope for people suffering from,Parkinson's,Alzheimer’s disease,Bechet’s disease,Crohn’s disease
