Stress

It has been hard for me this past few days. I had to take my grandson home, who was spending two weeks with me. I hadn't seen him for two years and he didn't want to go home yet. Now, I have to go see an orthopaedic surgeon. I have cysts and tumors on my bones. I don't know if they're cancer or not. But it doesn't look good. I've been stress eating. Not good. I'm holding at 200. I am exercising, powerwalking on an incline for 30 minutes, three or four times a week. That's all I can do right now, with work and school. Just wanted to talk to someone. Nona

Dear Nona, I can't imagine the worry you are going through right now. I too, use food for comfort at times. The truth is, I don't buy the things that I can't resist. I bought drumsticks once and I ate one a day until they were gone. They called my name out loud! I don't really know the answer to eating when things are difficult. I know you are worried about the eating on top of everything else, but I keep thinking about you and the cysts and tumors. I would think those things would make you not feel well either. You have so much to deal with in your life all the time that I already admire you and your attitude. You seem so strong and good through it all. I thought it was good news that your grandson didn't want to go home. He loves you and wants to be with you. Your post is sad. It makes me feel sad. When are you going to go to the orthropaedic surgeon? I am praying that once you see him and are tested that it will be a weight off your shoulders and that you will be totally well. You will be on my mind, so please message whenever you get a chance. Allison

Hi Allison, I go Friday to see the doc. A nurse friend of mine says he's one of the best in our area and I can feel safe with him, so that helped a lot. I am feeling better today. I had a good cry in my DH's arms last night. He is so supportive and caring. Don't know how I managed to marry an But I did and I thank Jehovah for him every day. I've had a few scares lately, but each one turned out all right, so I am sure this one will to. Thanks for caring. Nona

You are blessed to have a great husband. I think that is the most important thing in the world. My husband doesn't pay much attention to me and he is crabby a lot. I am anxious to hear how things go on Friday. Knowing someone is a great doctor always makes me feel better too. Lucky you know someone who can tell you!

Nona, you are in my prayers. luvitsunnyv
