i got a call from the doctor today telling me my blood tests have shown a deterioration in my bone density and it looks like i may have osteoporosis. this, two days after being told i need another operation to remove another non cancerous lump!!! that puts my plans back another 3 months! everything, apart from my studying, is now on hold until i am recovered. oh. its so hard to stay positive when negative things happen!!!!
"oh. its so hard to stay positive when negative things happen!!!! "
I sooo relate.
Yesterday was a very low day for me. Negative things are happening, and yesterday it spiraled into desperate fear. It took most of the day before I realized I was no longer emotionally sober, so I knew I had to get myself to a meeting. (That is one thing I did right yesterday!) As I shared at the table, I heard myself say, "I have been so full of fear........... that I had no time to pray." I couldn't believe it came out of my mouth.
So, my ESH is to remember to get still with your HP and pray. Your HP loves you very much. (((hugs)))
A.S.A.P.
Always Say A Prayer

no longer emotionally sober... wow, I have never heard that before but its really a very fitting description. Miss Lucy, Im sorry your having to deal with all this. Know your in my prayers.
I have had osteo for over 10 yrs now and am doin just fine , there are treatments that rebuild bone and they work . One pill a month not so bad huh ? Easy does it . Your gonna be just fine . Louise
Miss Lucy, Remember this, Who is to say what is good or Bad, HP wants you to slow down for some reason... So take it as a Blessing. Isn't that what we are all trying to do here? Turn something neg. into a wonderful positive? My thought are with you.
(((((Miss Lucy))))) - so very sorry that these events seem to be affecting your plans. I am certain, one day at a time, there is a change of direction from your HP that's going to be far better than what you ever expected.
Thoughts and prayers from me to you! I just started taking the osteoporosis medications. I'm not too happy about it, but am doing as directed...
Always remember we're only a post away!
