I'm back ladies, after being AWOL

I'm back !! I haven't been on here for several days. I have been in a slump for so longgggg!! I guess you might say a deep depression.  I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired!!  About  a month ago I went to the doctor with my feet and he said I have Plantar F (something ) . He gave me shots in my feet and predisone to take for a month. Well , my feet are 100 percent better!! But I had to go to the doctor Friday because my mouth was hurting so bad for 3 days, it felt like it was on fire.  She said the predisone (I'm sure I'll spelling it wrong) had lowered my immune system and that I had a fungus infection and a viral infection in my mouth. Then Sat; I got up with a sinus infection. Plus I have gained weight because of all the medicine!
I do have good news,  my supervising manager came and spent 3 days with me last week and she said I could have a two hour person to come in every day from 11 till 1 and help me!! That will free me up so I can get my paper work done instead of being out on the floor during the time we serve lunch! 
I know I don't reply to all of your post ,  but I do read them every few days and I pray for each one of you and the problems that you are having.
Tomorrow is Monday and I always start over on Mondays!!!  It's a new day and a new begging!!  Love you all, Judy

I'm glad to see you back.  You were missed.   I was just thinking about you and your sister.  I see the doctor about my kidney stones tomorrow and was wondering how your sister was doing.  I can't imagine how painful this would be if I didn't live on morphine.  Actually, I do know because the last time I had stones, I threw up and then passed out.  I feel so bad for your sister every time you tell us she is having problems.

I've had Plantar Fasciatis and it is PAINFUL.  God love you for going through that.  I'm glad you feel better.  Good news about getting help.  I know you've been overworked and it's about time your supervisor got you some help. 

Hope Charles is doing well.

Hugs,
Connie

Jean passed a few of the fragments from the lithotrispy last weekend but she is doing so much better.
Charles goes for his test next Wednesday. I' m praying and believing he is going to be fine.
We are thinking about going to Pigeon Forge Tn. and staying a few days.    The chicken farming buisiness is like everything else. He is usually out of chickens for a week and now he will be out a month this time.  I'm going to take next Mon., Tues and Wed. off and enjoy life a little!!
I hope all is going well with you.  Judy

Hi Judy - glad to see you back "home" - I've missed you. Boy, if there's one thing that's for certain, this surgery and losing weight sure didn't make all the problems in life go away! The bottom line is no matter our size, we get to get up and keep going every single day ... and how we manage to do that really determines to a large extent how we feel about ourselves when we close our eyes at the end of each day. I'm trying so incredibly hard to get through this day without candy. I know it sounds so stupid but I just want this day, just this one day, to be able to walk out of my office building with my head held high, knowing that I was stronger than the obsession to eat it. I want ME back. Just today. If I can achieve this today, maybe I'll get a good night's sleep tonight. Anyway, you keep on keepin' on, girlfriend. It's good to see you back. Love, your Reenie

I'm still in slump. but I am praying real hard to over come this depression.  SUGAR is my worst enemy and I know it!! I'm like you I just want to go today with out it. Charles told me today that I was healthy and happy up until about 6 months ago.  He 's right , I had been working real hard to keep the weight off and  I was enjoying life even thought it was a struggle trying not to eat carbs. But I feel like I have aged more in the last six months that I did the first 59 years of my life!!  Love ya, Judy

Hi Judy plantar fasciitis...OUCH...been there I was so bad at one point I would literally have to craw when getting up to go to the restroom in the morning...its no fun...glad the predisone shots are working for you, they didnt for me at all. Every few months Ide get a really bad flair up that would last for weeks at a time and have to sleep with some big spaceman boot on.  I have really havent had much a problem know that Ive lost the wieght but boy do I pray it never flairs up again. I took the predisone aswell....one reaction from that is weight gain specially in your face it will get sorta puffy, one of the reason you dont stay on it for long. Its a steriod but boy does it work. I have to go on it now occasionally for asthma, but is it a wonder drug. Also your mouth sounds like its a reaction called thrush (candidiasis)...it will go away, try rinsing regularly with warm sal****er and have your dentist prescribe a antifungall medicine it will usually clear up in about 10 days. Good-Luck....things will eventually look up!

I have gained weight and the doctor told this would make my feet worst. This is another reason I have got to get "Back on track" and lose the weight I've gained. My mouth is better, but I'm still using the medicine the doctor gave me. If I go a long time without using it my mouth wil start tingling and I know it's time to use it again. 
Things will surely get better , if I start back eating right..   Judy
