it is good it wasnt you....

who died.
it is not good your sons music teacher died though.
am sorry to hear that someone close to you has died. well not meaning it to be close like a family but close like you knew him and his family.
it is hard to deal with death. in anyone.
and for you to be sick. and to have almost died too, is very scary.
am glad you didnt die too.
it is hard to have pain. have pain every day and take a little bit of medicines but not morphine like you need. do not need that. have arthritic joint pain an auto-immune response which began after hepB vaccination. ever since have had pain every day. but did not bring that up to discuss vaccines just came out about when the idea of pain came up.... anyways.. you are right.. many people who do not have pain much do not know what it is like to live with it... wish for you that the pain will subside... it is very hard to deal with being unwell physically and being a full-time mom..... being a mom is a fulltime job...
thank you for asking, our family is doing quite ok sometimes and quite well other times and occasinally not too well... so statistically we are well more often the not... which is better then in the beginning of the fall.. things ARE better then they were...
the kids are at school, and are starting to settle in better... daughter is liking her classmates and hopefully they keep liking her back... son is liking his teacher which is good for him... he is getting help with fixing up the IEP problems we were having... their dad is still just as unpredictable but now have decided to never tell them what he plans to do until it is happening, so they do not get disappointed by him.. that is better... mineself, am physically a little 'wierd' right now.. not too well.. but not sick, just having some 'chronic' problems acting up a little.. but am sure it will be getting better a little at a time.. as time goes on...
that seems to be the nature of the illness that have.. it gets better and worse.. but never really bad... like deathly bad...
sending wishes for you and your family... that things will settle down into a better rythm for you all and that your health will improve and you will feel more comfortable physically soon....
