Need: I am praying for your daughter. That is alarming to you, most certainly. Although my DD has never been dx'd with Crohn's, she does REALLY have to watch what she eats. If she is served a buttered bun of a hamburger at a restaurant because cook erred, she must then take a powerful pill and go right to bed (done for the day).

NHWM, sorry to read about your daughter. I am sure that this causes anxiety all on it's own, then add in the COVID surge especially in the southern states adds additional concerns.

Met friends for coffee this morning. Felt good to do something normal, first time on my own in nearly three weeks. Now it is time to nap.

NHWM,
Sorry to hear that your daughter is having a difficult time with her condition.
And very scary to be in a hospital during the pandemic.
I was hoping that a really good specialist M.D. would run across her and get her the care she needs for true healing.

I will be praying directly to Our father, who art in heaven....
On behalf of you, your husband, and your two daughters.

And hoping you will continue to be strong!

Thanks for telling us NHWM!

I have added your family to the prayer list at a praying church.

Send,

I know why I am not sleeping. My oldest daughter is back in the hospital. Grrrrr. Everything is delayed because our hospitals are full with COVID patients.

They are keeping the COVID patients isolated. My daughter is a bit anxious because she has to wait longer to have her procedure done. There’s complications with her diabetes too. So, they end up keeping her longer.

Please say prayers for her. I pray continually for my girls. I missed so much of their lives when I was caring for my mom. I would have never dreamed of things being the way they were or how they are now. I guess I am in a bit of a funk. I’ll be better when my daughter is out of the hospital. I hate that she has Crohn’s disease. It has been miserable for her.

I guess I will try to get back to sleep. I fall asleep, then wake up. If I can’t sleep, maybe there is a good movie on Netflix to watch.

One o'clock in the morning,
and it looks as if it's going to be
a long and sleepless night.

The coffee did keep me up last night.
I was sleepy at first, but then, could not get back to sleep forever.

Practicing self-discipline next.....

Saying goodnight to all!
Just had some coffee and that will make me able to sleep. Yeah, I know, but it does the opposite to me and I was having a sharp headache from missing my cup this morning.

Night Glad! 🌌

Glad,

Keeping you in my thoughts and prayers. Will burn a candle and say a Novena for you.

I think that movie and TV characters are too often portrayed as having an almost super human ability to bounce back from trauma and as a result we expect that of ourselves too. And when you do see a headline about somebody pushing through pain and adversity it's news because that is extraordinary, most of us could never do that. I very much believe in giving ourselves grace to heal, and that those who don't can often suffer unexpected consequences years down the line.

Glad,
You have already been out for a drive! Way sooner than I have ever heard!

Be patient little warrior, you have already beat cancer!

Is there a support group that you could attend, or go online? You would be a great support for others, and it may distract you.

How about a swim class once the incision is healed?

Your doctors will be amazed by your healing, I am sure!

Glad, my mom had a unilateral mastectomy at MSK at the age of 65. She was in the hospital for 10 days; on heavy duty pain meds for the first 3 and then in group talk therapy for the balance.

I don't think she lifted a finger for a month. (Not spoiled, just a slow healer).

Give yourself time, honey.
