Sigh. I hit the anniversary of that jerk taking my legs, income, freedom, etc from me and hit a wall. Not living so graciously in my houseshoes at the moment! I was working my way through a lent book, and able to go to church and a Stampin Up class, thanks to some very helpful and understanding people, and then someone betrayed my trust and I crashed. It is as if the losses of the past year came crashing down at that moment.
I find solace in makeup :) Making my face pretty makes me feel better. Everyone has something that does, and makeup is it for me. But, here I sit, fully made up, and just want to wash it all off and sleep to block out the pain.
Whine, whine, whine. This isn't like me....I normally bounce back from everything. Heart attack? No problem. Lupus? Okay. But it feels like I am in a huge undertow being hit by wave after wave, soon to sink. I am ready for GOOD news! I've been stuck in bed over a year now, hopefully they will have to fix my back soon. It is inhumane to be forcibly stuck like this when there is a simple surgery that will fix it and allow me to go on with my life. All I did was go to work, I was just standing there when I was struck down. No fair! :)
I will hopefully post a pic of some adorable shoes tomorrow I got that can be dressed up, down, spring, summer...love them. It is hard to find shoes that aren't heels that I can feel good about, but I was able to :)
Lastly, if you still have your legs, the ability to simply walk to the bathroom without too much pain, cherish it. You have NO IDEA what a luxury something that simple is until it is taken from you. Blessings and love to you all :)
