To top off all the other things I'm dealing with, vinyl siding, 2 car wrecks, excruciating (unbelievable) physical pain today, I walk into the laundry room this morning and step in a puddle. Water heater is leaking like a sieve! I was able to get a plumber here and have it replaced for upwards of $400.00 (part of my vacation money I've been saving forever!). Then my John calls and wants to know why I didn't have the LP switched over to electric (LP units are more expensive and the price of propane these days thru the roof as we all know).!!!! BECAUSE, I tell him, that would require an electrician and a new breaker and all that goes along with that. GRRRRRRRRR! Then the vinyl siding guy finally calls while I'm out getting the mail. His msg "I have those THREE storm windows for you and need to know when you'll be home so we can get them up." It's EIGHT storm windows along with fixing the rest! GRRRRRRRR! I haven't called him back yet, cause if I do anytime soon I'll have to make amends and I REFUSE to have to that.
I'm in so much physical pain right now (stress brought it out I'm sure) that I Seriously considered a drink or 2 or a dozen!!! Then I thought, nah! I'll wait till next week...... So I took a Percocet instead along with a Flexaril. I got those after the first car wreck just in case but haven't taken any until now.
Hi Doll All's I can say is you are SO in my prayers girl!!!! More than anything I wish you some relief from all the pain your going through!!! Hang in there!!!!!

Jen, I am still praying for you, and hoping for things to take a drastic upturn for you soon...... PLEASE hang in there. Imagine how great "GOOD" is going to feel again when things get there... could be tonight, could be tomorrow... when everything turns around, and it WILL my friend, it will.
Love and hugs, Joni

Hey Doll, Hope you feel better. Don't try to fight too many battles at once. Give yourself time off. Remember stress agrivates the weakest part of your body (injuries). Try an relax, things aren't as bad as they seem. You have a few things going on, that if taken by themselves, would be realitively minor, but clumped so close together it seems unmanageable. One other thing, go easy on the medication, we don't want to loose you
Hang in there, Doll. I love how expressive you are! You get right to the point ;) lol I think your HP knows what it's doing & you deserve that trust just fine. Prayers going up for your pain x Thanks for your video pointer, Sarah. It helped me today too. Love to you both & everyone here in recovery, Danielle x

Thank you, all.......Dean, only took the ONE pain killer and 1/2 a muscle relaxer, it gave me enough relief to rest & calm down........add to all the above, 'check engine' light is now on in my car! Not a wonder with all the bangs and bruises.....Oh well! Next????
The good news, headed for the beach tomorrow morning and I can't wait. 8 glorious days with nothing to do but be with my John! We got an awesome condo ocean front and we'll be ALL alone until next Thursday when the 'rest' show up. Woo Hoo! (ya'll say a prayer I don't get tired of all that 1 on 1 time --- LOL).
Thanks for the cyber hugs and real prayers. I have felt them this week.

Have a great time at the beach. You deserve it Jen. Make a deal with yourself not to think about any of this stuff while your gone. If it tries to creep back into your head, say "stfu, I'm on vacation"
