Severe setback

Jennie,
So sorry to hear what you are going through. That must be so frustrating.  Just wanted to let you know you are in more thoughts and prayers.

BIG HUGS!  I know things will get better for you, and hopefully very SOON!  :)

Oh my, Jennie. That was one big seroma. I'm so glad to heard you are on the mend.

On housekeeping - Over the years I've come to see that trying to follow my stay-at-home mom's example is nuts. Not only do I work full-time and struggle with the pain and lack of mobility in being SMO, but I live with a hubby and step-son who have physical limitations too.

As I've gotten older and wiser, I realized that there are much more important things than a clean house and always doing things the same way.  Rather than a big Christmas meal, we've made a fun tradition out of pizza on Christmas eve and playing games together. Maybe there are always a few dishes in the sink, but there are no health code violations. (Well, maybe a violation in my son's bathroom, which is HIS responsibility to clean or not clean). So what if the lawn is longer than the neighbors? Did you come to visit me or judge my lawn?

Especially in your situation, with so many of your inner circle "down" at the same time, it's difficult. Your job right now is to get well and no guilt about what you can't do right now. Turn that over to God. No guilt, no feeling useless.

Gentle hug,

Patty

So sorry to hear about your complications!!  I hope everything turns around for you.  Don't worry about the messy house... it's just not worth it.  Don't worry about the wt gain either.... it will drop off soon enoough.  Take care of yourself and I hope your family is on the mend soon too!

Good Luck

Caroline

Jennie,  I am sorry to hear about everything that you and your family are going through.  It sounds like a really rough time, but it's good that you have so many people in your circle that care about each other.  You'll all find some way to help each other through these things and somehow you'll be closer for it.  Take care of yourself!

Jennie
Im so sorry you are going thru this.
Im hoping you are better soon.
Also happy anniversary to you and your dh,im sure he is happy he has you.
The house can wait im sure everybody understands you need to take of yourself and get well.
I wish i lived closer id come help you out.
but in the mean time here is a hugg and a kiss on the cheek

 My word!  I've been thinking about you all day and now I know why!  Poor thing!  If I lived nearby, I can guarantee you I'd be right over tidying the house and doing whatever else you needed.  Since I'm too far away, I'll certainly send healing thoughts your way.  

Do they have any idea at all why you developed Seromazilla?  I imagine you are now going to be the subject of a medical article.

As everyone else said, focus on healing and feeling better, and don't worry about the housework. As for your anniversary, this just gives you a reason to have a big whoop-di-doo later on.

Big (but soft) hugs,
Kix

Wow Jennie....you sure are having a rough time of it.  I know its easy for someone else to tell you to hang in there when its YOU that is going through this, but I think you know deep inside that this will all pass. Its unfortunate that you had these complications , so everything else around you seems major.....when in reality, its a small series of events. Right now you need to focus on your health and getting your strength back.  I will have good thoughts and keep you in my prayers. Take care of yourself! HUGS  Jeanine

Jennie I am so sorry to be reading this. It must be so overwhelming. I can only say that I am hugging you and sending good thoughts to your family. Hopefully you will heal and things will get better soon.
