Sorry to hear you are so sick. I had a great experience buying eggs from you and you were so nice and encouraging. Will be praying for you and your family in this time of need. God will take care of you and all your needs!

It is wearing to have a chronic health problem. It is exhausting and frustrating and annoying and irritating and all sorts of other adverbs (those are adverbs, right?). It not only wears on you physically, it wears on you mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It is really easy to fall into the "why me?" mentality and to rail against the unfairness of it all. Because, you know, it ISN'T fair and really, why you (or in my case, me)? Why does God allow this block, this huge unsurmountable hurdle to be placed in our way?
I don't have an answer for you. It stinks. I am frustrated every single day because I hurt and my issue (Crohns) is a time drain away from all the things I want to do. I know you are in the same boat. There are Things To Do and your body is betraying you.

There are two thoughts that help me.
1) Everybody has something. It's true. You can't always see it, but everybody has something in their life that wears on them. If they don't, they just haven't lived long enough.

I look at my issues and think "Well, gosh, it could be worse. I could have XYZ." I'm sure others look at my world and think "Gosh, at least I'm not dealing with that!". But everybody has something. Somehow that makes me feel less put upon and in a strange way grateful for the problem that I do have. It can always be worse, you know?

2) Our Christian belief promises that one day this body will go away and everything will work like it is supposed to. I find that to be very comforting.

Please remember everyone that has read your story is praying for you. Keep thinking only about the day you are completely well, keep thinking it is coming soon! Keep thinking postive. You are in my prayers!

I have to say that you all have encouraged me so much that I made banana muffins to drop by a friend of the farm on the way to the hospital today.....

Yes, everyone has something to deal with, or as Granny said "Not only a cross to bear but to wear"..... So I am praying to be a smiling little goofy person to cheer all these doctors and medical folks up and you all too!!!! It's no fun to see a grumpy whiner but lift me up with a spirit fitting of a child of the King and yup, things will change..... Besides I got to lick the bowl (after cooking them of course.)LOL, butter, honey, fresh eggs, bananas so ripe and NO Nuts in case of allergies and fresh ground cinnamon and nutmeg, I may need to eat one!

I just read your thread, and it felt rude to just go on to something else with you so much in my mind. Around 1990 or so I had pneumonia, and I went from healthy active mom of two boys to really sick then dragging and unable to do ANYTHING. All these years later I still remember the feelings of frustration and depression due to forced inactivity. And in a few weeks, like 6, I was better.

I imagine with all your farm and animals you are pretty active and this is driving you nuts! Let the docs get to the bottom of the problem so it can get totally cleared up and then you can get back to yourself. It is probably not in your nature to think of yourself, but this is a time to put yourself first, so you can get better, then you can go back to your usual generous self.

And while you are having to stay still because it's hard to breathe if you do anything, you don't have to feel guilty about the time spent on this site!

And I will pray for you.
