Really Sad

Monday, October 05, 2009

I have not had a good day. My foot is not getting any better. I had to get stitches out today. I got in huge fight with my son whom I have had a very hard time communicating at times. To top it all off they just decided not to sign up at the gym there membership ran out. I do not know what is going to happen at this time. I feel very depressed, Feel my body is fighting me with all of this mess. Just wish things looked better at this point. This is my first setback since I have joined this page, so I am very scared at this point.

OH! PLEASE DON'T GET DEPRESSED. THAT IS NOT A GOOD PLACE TO GO!! HAVE YOUR EVER HEARD OF SPARK FRIENDS? That's WHAT WE ALL ARE YOUR FRIENDS. WE ARE HERE WHEN THINGS ARE GREAT AND WE ARE HERE WHEN THINGS ARE NOT SO GREAT. I CAN RELATE TO THE SON ISSUE, MINE JUST ABOUT DROVE ME CRAZY UNTIL ONE DAY HE GREW UP AND THANKED ME FOR FIGHTING WITH HIM ON ISSUES WHEN HE WAS WRONG AND MOM WAS RIGHT, TO ME THAT IS ONE OF THE BEST THANK YOU A MOTHER CAN GET FROM A CHILD, ONE DAY HE TO WILL THANK YOU FOR BEING SUCH A WONDERFUL MOM FOR LOVING HIM AND CARING ABOUT HIM, HE JUST HAS TO GROW UP TO REALIZE IT, IT WILL HAPPEN.

It's OK to have a step backward to regroup before the two steps forward. A mountain isn't climbed straight up. Report Inappropriate Comment

I agree with WATERWEEZE; the only way to take life is one day at a time. Sure, you have some setbacks and some things to feel sad about, but maybe the next time you speak with your son, you'll have thought about it and have words that he'll better understand. And gym or no, exercise can be found and accomplished anywhere. You have the power to change your perspective, even if you can't change your circumstances. Hang in there!

Oh, Rose, I can empathize with what you're going through with your son. Family "stuff" is certainly hard. Just remember that it'll be worth it to you if you can take care of yourself through this hard time, and not undo all the good work you've done so far. Laurie Report Inappropriate Comment

Don't be afraid, just take it one day at a time. Setbacks are common in life and we all have them at one time or another. Try to find positives and do whatever exercises you are able to do they will always make you feel better. Report Inappropriate Comment

Try Again

Sunday, October 04, 2009

I have to wait till tomorrow to see how I will do at the gym. I am going to try swimming because of my sprained ankle. I do not expect much for the first day of swimming I know you have to work at getting your lungs strong. I have been watching my food so this is good. It is so nice here with the weather in the south I just love it. So hopefully I will get back on track. I have to get my stitches out tomorrow also.

Well I am resting and thankful for my friends and family. I am just happy I am safe now and just trying to cling to the idea I will not fall off wagon as far as my sparkpage hard when my mind wants to do my exercise and my body will not let me yet. I have to get well first. Life is not easy and you never know from one day to next how things will and can change. Will be happy to be healthy again. Funny I had to get a shot for tetanus and that thing hurts most on my left arm. Found huge bruise on left thigh never knew I had from fall. Want to try and do video blog for once too see what happens. Thanks supports for all your notes keep them coming need the support.

I'm glad to see you're on the mend! I had thought about doing a video blog but wasn't too sure about the site they use, flipz? I think that's what it said. Did you have to register to use the site? Did you have to upload to flipz and then upload again to sp? Report Inappropriate Comment

Recuperating

Friday, October 02, 2009

Well I had a day from HELL yesterday I ended up in the ER in Atlanta, missing my flight and being put up in hotel for 4 hrs. I twisted my ankle in Cincinnati and I thought I was missing the plane and tried to speed up and m heavy backpack on my back through me to the hard cement. Blood was everywhere on my clothe on my airline pillow they put under my head. The EMT's were called they told me it would be fine and made the flight to Atlanta. The y had no butterfly just a band aid. The cut needed stitches and they said I could have my son take me to ER in SC. Well the pressure on plane caused me to start bleeding again. Strange no first aid kit on airplane. Had to put white cloth on my forehead when the 4 X4 's were too drenched in blood. I was a mess, it was a mess. When I got into Atlanta they called EMT's a second time. I went to ER via ambulance. They do not even have a health office in airports? I never got out of hospital till 2 am, I was on crutches due to sprained ankle. Plus 5 stitches on two cuts over my right eye. They put me up in hotel and scheduled me new flight at 830 am.
I was up at 615 am and at airport by 7. I was so upset they dropped me off at back lane and I waiting 35 min for wheelchair. I told the attendant I need a cop finally cause I was not getting any help. I was in tears due to only 4 hrs of sleep. They kept me waiting so long I finally started to cross the road on crutches terrified I was going to fall again. Well when I got the wheelchair they kept me waiting again. I missed my 830 flight because no one would help me. This trip started out at 9 am the day before and I still was not at my sons. So they had to transferred me to another site after I missed the plane. next flight 10am. Did I not get on the flight and they had engine problem and we never left till 11. I finally got here to my sons at 1230. So everything is off for me. I never got on the internet again to do my sparkpage yesterday. That dumb Cincinnati airport wanted to charge me for internet. So the 4 hr wait was worthless in getting my page I am so out of sorts. I have to be on crutches for a week . Stitches out in 4 days, so there goes my walking pledge and my getting 50 points per day. Tried to go and finish yesterdays points will not let me.

Okay, I understand now. I saw your video first and didn't know what it was about! What a pain (literally!)! I hope you're able to enjoy the time with your son anyway. Report Inappropriate Comment

I'm so sorry this had to happen to you! Airports are a lousy place to be for the disabled. We had to beg my mom to stop flying. The last time she flew from Houston Tx to Kansas to visit us, she fell on the moving sidewalk, broke her knee. She laid there for 2 hrs until finally ems was called! And then another trip...her blood sugar dropped, she was confused and couldn't even tell them her name yet they looked at her ticket and stuck her on a plane! She was half dead by the time she got to ks. They had to put her in a wheelchair because she was unable to walk by this point. They then looked in her purse, found her address book with my number in it, called me & asked me to come get her. I told them my mother is not a confused woman, if she is...then you better call 911. I met them at the hospital and she was unresponsive. We almost lost her due to that! After that, we refused to allow her to travel anymore. You are so lucky is was nothing serious! well...I guess 5 stitches aint no joking matter...but you are still so lucky. A good rule of thumb is to have your name, a contacts name, number & address on your person somewhere easy for them to find. Report Inappropriate Comment

The twist in Cincinnati was not the "trip" you had planned and I'm sorry you went through all that drama... it must have been very frustrating. Relax in the safety of where you are right now and focus on getting better. Hard to think so right now, but I hope that someday this will just be another family story you tell and laugh over!

OMG! What airline is this? No first aid kit/or station. If it were me I'd get a lawyer. That aside, Thank God you're safe now. Don't stress over the missed stuff, just revel in your resiliency. Hope the rest of the trip is much, much, much, much better. keep in touch & keep your chin up. You win the prize for bravest traveler Report Inappropriate Comment

Things happen in life. Take it all in stride and look forward now. After you are healed you may get back on track. Don't let all this stress you out. It's not worth it, and you will probably eat wrong from it , too. Report Inappropriate Comment
