Please say a prayer for me

I am headed to the hospital to bring my mother home. She is so excited. I am not. It will take at least 24 hours to arrange home care for her. Until then I am IT. This is not something I do well. It will definitely take supernatural power for me to get through this. Not the least of the issues is no computer at her place. I will stay in touch with my angelettes Rob and Tammy, but will not be able to update you on them until I sneak away. On the bright side, I will be up on current events--she watches CNN 24 hours a day! Thanks in advance! Joy

Dear Joy; I'm glad to hear that you're mother is well enough to go home. I'm sending lots of prayers your way. You've done so much in the way of support for the rest of us Marchers. It's nice to be able to do something for you. Cheryl

Prayers coming Miss Joy! I'm glad your Mom is doing well enough to come home but I do know that it can be hard caring for loved ones sometimes. Keep the faith! God Bless!

Joy Hon, You can do this. Remember the Lil Red Caboose (HAHA) "I think I can! I think I can!" I will pray for you dear. Hang in there. Love Ya Whitney

Hi Joy, I'm so sorry you're having this added stress. Those of us in this weight situation have learned to deprioritize ourselves and it's something we need to work on. I know you can't exactly do that while taking care of someone else, but I will send good energy that your mom will heal up well and fast. Try to take care of yourself! Best wishes, Eve

Joy, I know you're glad your Mom is getting released from the hospital, but too bad you are the 24/7 caregiver. That is a very demanding position to be in. Don't forget to take care of yourself (I know you won't forget), and just hang in there. I'll be praying for you dear. Hugs, Karen L.

Thank you all--more than I can say. Joy

Buy yourself some flowers, a candle, or bubblebath at the first opportunity. Shopping may not be the answer to everything, but it can't hurt. Gano
