Hello Marie

Hey Marie:

How are you doing today? I have come to realize that I am in the middle of a full blown relapse, although I am having a great deal of pain (shoulder and neck), which brought on a huge headache this morning.

I fully intend to call my internist on Monday and seek his guidance. I have to go out of town for the evening, but will be back late tonight and will call you or check the board.

Hello to everyone else as well. I need all the support and compassion that I can get. My husband has basically checked out on me regarding any of my problems.

Love to all

T,
You can do it no matter who has checked out on you. Remember you are doing this for yourself, as well as for others but you have to take care of yourself before anything else. Do not give up and just know, as I have found, that there are people who care in this world and you can count on them. Believe in yourself and everything will turn out fine.

Hey T,
Give me a holler when you get in. I'm home now. Been running errands with the kids and stuff. Now a friend of mine just called/broke up with girlfriend - I'm sorta like the "Dear Abby" of the neighborhood" - as if I dont have enough of my OWN problems LOL. Well, I try to help people the best I can (really) try to be a good person - maybe I'll be rewarded with a cure to this friggen addiction!!!~!!
I have ALL my children (yes, exactly like the soap opera) here and my adorable Kylee (grandaughter). Now Trish (my daughter) says shes taking Amanda(13 year old daughter) and going to visit some friends in Miami. I'm all good with that cause Tony's going to my sisters house to spend the night with his cousin so it looks like I might actually have a night "free"??? Oh, I forgot about my good ole Dad - Oh well, maybe I can send him somewhere/sometimes I'd like to :o) (just kidding - I love him so much).
I'm doing "OK" - lets leave it at that for now. I'll talk to you more later hon. And tell Jeff that if he dont treat you right I'll come up their and put a size 8 up his a$$ LOL .
TTYL,
Love, Marie
Dear Marie:

I'm feeling a bit more encouragement this morning. Had great time last night with my sister-in-laws. They are a wild bunch. My one sister-in-law has a very close girlfriend whose first husband just died in his sleep at 37 a few years ago. I always think about him. It is common knowledge that he was addicted to percs after a bad back injury. I think someone said he was battling the addiction, but was up to about 7 or 8 pills several times a day. Don't know the doses. However, that really tends to hit close to home when you think about it.

I thought about you last night and was hoping your doing okay. Do give me a holler on the toll free. I should be here all day. Jeff and Hunter are going out to the woods for a couple hours.

Be strong for you, be strong for me, be strong for us all!

Love, hugs and prayers to you
T
