Teartracks Week From Hell

[teartracks]

Hi Everyone,

I rarely share my everyday life on the board, but decided maybe I should now.  First there are some really good threads I'm following and would like to respond but can't, or at least not very consistently.  My mom has taken two falls in a week.  Thankfully no broken bones, but swollen joints and those crepey skin tears.  Tonight was a trip to the hospital to get one of them glued back.  The previous fall nicked a couple of already delicate places on her legs.  Those are leaking.  She is on hemocyte for anemia.  Her legs are swelling (something new), so we elevated the foot of her bed. 

I've have Shingles.  Then in a freak accident, I lost control of a cup of very hot liquid from the microwave that landed on a very delicate place above my waste.  That left me with second degree burns on my left side and Shingles on the right.   This week from hell began almost the very hour I began a fairly large remodeling project on a piece of rental property.  I'm simply exhausted.   I'll be checking in though and wishing everyone the best on the path to woleness.  My mom and myself stand in the need of prayer.  And the nice workers on the remodeling project, as well.

Good lord, TT, I'm so sorry!
What a trail of trials.

It's devastating work you're doing with your mother, it must be so hard to hold on.
(So you dropped something?) I'm so sorry you got hurt.

Many of my wobbly prayers coming your way, but from
a steady heart.

Please take very good care of yourself now.
Let others take some of the load for your Mom.

She can understand. In the strong part of her that's not her body,
she would wish comfort for you too.

love

So sorry your're having such a rough go right now.  Not only are you dealing with your mother's issues, and helping her with the pain and horror of it, you're not completely tip top yourself. 
You have the remodel project hanging over you.
I've had all of those problems, complete with burning my belly with hot liquid at 8mo pregnant, but never all those stresses together.  ((((teartracks))))

I'm sending prayers for you and your mom.  And just a little one that hopes your sub contractors are capable and working quickly.

Oh, Teartracks,

I'm so sorry about your week!  That's too much to have to deal with at one time! 

Praying for excellent doctors for you and your mom who can ease your suffering and get you both on the road to recovery.  And many, too, for the workers--no delays, and much attention to detail.  '''

Life is going to be so smooth when you get past this, TT!   

Love,
CB

Dear TT,

Everything is happening at once.  When it rains, it pours.

Please try to not allow the stress to get to you any more than it has.  Is there anything you can doto reduce your stress?

Sending you and your mother healing thoughts.

Love,
Sally

((((TT))))  You have so much going on right now.  I'm sending prayers for you and your mom and hope you both recover soon.  I hope you are able to find some time to rest.

TT, I'm adding you in with Sela and Stormy.  I don't know why but it feels good to have people to pray specifically for.

Wow, TT, when it rains it pours.  All of these things together must be such a challenge. It all sounds exhausting.  I wish you well and will hold you in my thoughts.  I hope posting/venting/sharing here helps ease your mind at least a little.

Oh ((((((((((tracks))))))))))

praying for you

am going to PM you about burn treatment options

((((((((((tracks))))))))))

Glad to hear you had a better day.  I'm sending good vibes your way again tonight.

(((((((((((((((((((((((((Teartracks))))))))))))))))))))))))))

I would say things can't get worse... but then it will start raining like in the movies, I am sure. Poor thing. The shingles and burn must be so painful. And your mom... Too much to handle all at once.
Can you get a small break and do something for yourself??? Can you go to Barnes and Noble and drink an (iced) coffee and read a good book?????
I will be thing of you and praying you feel better quickly.
Love, Beth

Dear Ones,

Your kind expressions of support and prayers have fallen on a truly needy heart.   I felt a tiny bit better today.  Storm, thanks for the PM about burn care.   Thanks to each and every one of you.  There is light at the end of the tunnel.

PS  There's a blue moon tonight, enjoy!

Hope your day is a bit brighter today Teartracks.

On burncare, I don't do anything past putting silvadene cream on, then those very expensive 3M bandages that are thick and waterproof.  By the time they fall off, things are healed. 

If I don't do that I have to go through all the seeping and pain over and over again when things get wet.  Ugh. 

My thoughts are with you.
