Your BF is a keeper! It really shows how much he cares.
Don't be afraid to talk to someone...trust me, it can really take a load off one's mind. These health care professionals are in the business to help . I wish you the best of luck.
First of all I must let you all know that today was a better day ...in the afternoon anyway. I am wondering why the mornings are tougher to handle? Does anyone else experience that too.
My nights are usually shorter than I would like...me who use to be such a snoozer!!! But with the weather being nasty , my hip has decided to act up more than normal. So I was wondering if that may be why I feel more stressed in the a.m. because I'm tired. There is no way I can catch a nap in the afternoon...my body just refuses but I do stretch out to rest my hip.
I can't deny that I feel useless because the minute I do more, I pay for it with pain. Sometimes I think I've been depressed for awhile and the drugs at the time simply hid it...who knows.
I was hoping that I could recover ( if that is the right term) from this anxiety before I have to have surgery.....I must face that sooner or later, I know. That in itself is a major concern.
You guys just seem to have it together and I know you worked hard to get that way too.
Yes, he's my old man ( 11 years old ). We use to walk 2 miles a day but he and I both suffer from bad hips so our walking days are over but thanks for noticing my dear Shadow.
I have been doing my best to keep busy around the house. Today it's raining cats and dogs but hopefully soon I will be able to get outside and get busy with my flower beds and garden. It takes me a lot longer to do what I want to but what the heck I don't think the plants will mind.

As always you can make things seem so much less complicated.
I'm sorry you have had to go through so much in your life with your
RAand I do admire your tenacity and courage.
I haven't been on this forum very long but I do see you a my rock of gibraltar.
I am planning on calling my surgeon and getting him up to speed on what has happened and trying to rebook the surgery date , the original date was cancelled because both my husband and I were battling a nasty cold. My husband still has remnants of it and that was end of February.
It may take my a little while to get the courage to call the surgeon but I know it needs to be done .
You are all right ! Patience has never been one of my strong suits....mind you after having been married for 22 years to my dear husband , I have improved in the patience area LOL.
All kidding aside, there is no one more critical of me than me and I have to learn to give myself a break.
Davit ,
You are a very wise man. I think I will copy what you said down and put it up on my fridge. Thanks.
Well today was especially difficult, my amount of sleep has been diminishing during the week ...I've worked hard all week, I thought and even though last night I managed to do the breathing exercises and get a few hours , it finally took it's toll. My doctor had given me an anti-histamine ( atarax ) to help me sleep on the 8th but I had a reaction to it and ended up extremely agitated...so I threw it out and tried to go it on my own. Unfortunately, that just aggravated the situation.
I called him today and went to see him, we will try something else so I can at least get sleep for a week or so, I just can't cope with it all this tired. I'm afraid I was a real basket case at group today... I felt awful and I just couldn't stop crying. In a way I feel bad about needing help in this manner but I will keep on with my efforts to make an improvement for myself.
Hope I haven't let you guys down...you've been so supportive and I don't want to lose that.
