I Am An Idiot- Please Advise-I Was Almost On Cops

hi changing.

All of that post sounds so positive. Everything will work to your favour with all the aides you have. I am so happy for you.

Brain dead? No way! Sometimes we just don't have to think about certain things in a long time so they are not at the forefront of our brains.
I have been watching "Are you smarter than a 5th Grader" to see what  they are learning, about age 10, but I was 8 in GR. 5 and I am happy that I can pull up so many answers. U.S questions are the worst--not made for Canadians----and others sound like College level

Good on you girl
Love
Izzy

I'm so proud to be considered one of your cabinet members, lol. 

You're certainly one of mine: )

My Dears-

It is Sunday, after a tumultuous week. I have been getting everything boxed and moved out of the house, consulting with lawyers, memorizing bailbondsmen's numbers, etc- I could not walk, even with a cane or walker, last night or this morning, due to overdoing it physically, and lay helplessly as I heard my dogs calling (it was a temperate evening, and they have water, food, a large white shed that looks like a house and a laundry porch that the can open and close the door to to sleep in if they wish) and cats mewing. When I could go a few steps today, not steady mind you, and went into the front with my big puppy boy- he barked furiously at a drunken? deranged? man who came by and wouldn't leave, until the puppy scared him off- thank goodness for my Samson(though he is young, boisterous, and tough to manage and train when my foot completely shuts down)-I feel so vulnerable and incompetent.
I don't know what is going to happen- I will continue to do my best- and try to accept the outcome with grace. You have helped so much.

Love to All,

Changing

Dear Changing,
  I wish that I could take you in my arms and hug you . I would  give you a nice,hot cup of tea and we could cry together about life  .                  Love You  Ami

Oh changing, you poor dear,

That sounds horrendous. You've just worn out every part of you?  Now how long for recovery back to where you were?
I know that totally helpless feeling when there is not a thing you can do and I have told myself that under certain circumstances the words "I can't" can be used! What do you require now? complete rest and good food? I'll see if I can e-mail you a bowl of Chicken soup!

It sounds as though your doggies were all right except for missing you?

It sounds as though you might have the necessary things done? I hope so. Are you safe?

Take good care, regain your strength and keep in touch

Love
Izzy

Changing,

You might feel vulnerable right now, but you certainly aren't incompetent! Just worn out, I should think.

Ami, Izzy and Janet-

Thank you for tinking of me. The lovely tea, delicious soup and encouragement are awesome! Ami, I am sure that you gave an elegent and successful party! With your new voice, you must have mesmerized your guests!
Dearest Izzy- I wrote a long post to your Assertive thread asking about how you are doing, growling about your wounds and sores, and it died- yet you were posting to me at the same time! You are the best - a role model for EVERYTHING- and I love soup as well!!! My foot, etc have not been resolving as they usually do- maybe more damage (inevitable but I should not hasten it)- I will try posting again. Please know that I care and adore you.
Janet- Thank you for your vote of confidence- i will endeavor to deserve it. Hope you and the owls have a dreamy night.

Love,

Changing

Dear Changing,
Forgive me for forgetting...but I can't remember if it was injury or RA that has caused your pain. An accident, I think. Regardless, I am really sad to think of you trying to cope with all that tumult while you're also feeling physical pain. Can't describe how much I admire you for accomplishing all you have.

That said, DANG I would like for there to be a little group of sisterly women in your life who'd move right in and keep you company and give you some help!

love and a soft pillow for your foot,
Hops

Hi Hoppy-

I had a fall from 3 stories and my heel was completely crushed- pulverized, nothing to knit together, joints asunder. They refashioned a sort of heel from bone grafts, metal and who knows what- many other things have been damaged but that was the worst. Nerve damage, tendons, back, arm, hand (unfortunately my dominant hand), leg, even my jaw. My face blew up so that my eyes were completely shut and I couldn't speak- the oral surgeon said that he had never seen such a thick jaw! I couldn't help but laugh to myself and think of the biblical "jawbone of an ass"!!!
Thanks for the pillow, kind Hoppy.

Love,

Changing

Oh my. Oh my my.
Oh my, I am so very very sorry, Changing.

Hops

Dear Hoppy-

I am fine, don't worry. I just have to be smarter in approaching tasks, etc. But thank you for caring.

Love,

Changing

Oh my goodness, oh my goodness.... ((changing))

So much to handle all at once.... and isn't that always the way?

Like being cast into an unexpected furnace and every direction looks difficult.

Except there are directions that take us OUT of the furnace and some that take us deeper into it.

You're right there at the door..... going in the right direction.

Just hard to keep anticipating someone pushing you back in.

The cowardly rat....

really ticks me off that he's so hurtful when you're having a hard enough time,

 but I suppose he'd do better...

if he could: /

Once again... you're on the right track and amazing me with your strength and courage.

I can't tell you what a lovely surprise your posts have been.

This is leading somewhere, changing.

Besides out.

You're gonna be just fine.

Keep in contact with that Professor of yours.... she's a great advocate to have on your side.

And the lawyer.... Samson.... us.

Now..... what pressure can we put on that N today..... hmmmmm?

Hi Lighter, Hi CB-

One more post and then I must get to crackin'! Lighter , I was thinking about the utter cowardice of NH as I was extending my open hands for the cops for so long, taking their abuse. He had lied to me and to them to set that scene up...a real man wouldn't watch such a thing and not stop it. Ptooey on him...
CB I had a workplace accident. So now I have to reinvent myself!Thank you for your faith in me and my future! Now, I've got to sling a mop...I mean la Pieta- and someday, I will go to see the real thing!

Love,

Changing

Oh and changing.... they think their so clever.... you fairly see the smirk while they enjoy their little set ups.

Such tiny little minds.....

preoccupied with tiny little non victories.....

that lead to more nothing: /
