Reminders
One thing that gets me thru this time when i am in some much pain is reminders. Do any of you have reminders on why you keep fighting? I know when I see my kids that is one of my reminders and the way me and my husband use to be is also. But I also wear one of those silly bands I really don't like these things but my daughter gave it to me and it has BFF on it so I wear it to remind myself why I need to get better. I also keep a old empty pain pill bottle from my dentist when I was going weekly to get stitchs in my mouth. My husband says it is stupid to keep the bottle cause I am reminded of the pain every single day cause I feel it. I know that but for some reason I keep it. Do any of you have reminders of why you keep fighting thru your pain. I just can't wait to get treatment to get me out of this h*ll that is called my life. I miss the way I use to be and I know my kids and husband does to.

Yea his blood pressure is under control now thank goodness cause we didn't want him on any meds cause once he started them like his dad he would be on them for the rest of his life. He does have asthma and severe food and bee allergies and outside allergies so he is "special" and he knows that.
I also love a song from Shinedown called Sound of madness. it is a rock song, I use to listen to it when I went to the dentist weekly, one line from the song says "Your darkest hour never comes in the night" and I always told my husband that and he would say whatever. My dentist ALWAYS told me he would fix the problem he caused no matter what and when i went for my weekly visit and found out he was gone I felt like my world fell in around me, I called my husband and I said I told you my darkest hour never comes in the night, he said true. I cried for DAYS AND DAYS after he left. He called me a few times to see how I was doing and everytime I was crying on the phone. He kept saying how sorry he was but i was in so much pain and just wanted the problem fixed but he couldn't fix it like he promised he would. I felt left behind. So that song is a reminder to me what I have been thru and it is a song that I listen to about 3 times a day just to remember what I have been thru. I have listened to it 4 times today cause of the pain I have been in just today.
Thanks

Thanks, Jamie. Is your son doing better now? It's hard when you're in pain to think about anything else sometimes, but I am happy that you posted this, because we do have a lot to be thankful for.
Flower,
When my son was going to childrens hosptial for high blood pressure treatment from time to time we would see kids really suffering and that is a wake up call. I know there are so many people and children that have it so much worse so I am blessed. I also believe and God and the power of prayer, I pray every night.
When my son was getting treatment that was before my pain started. I really couldn't handle seeing kids suffer like that. It was hard to see. I praise you for working in childrens hosptial and seeing that all day long and I thank for you that, taking care of kids. You truly do have a big heart.

I used to work at a children's hospital. There are children in wheelchairs...who are paralyzed, or burn victims...with very severe spinal cord injuries. And they inspired me so much, because many of them still have such a positive attitude even though they are so very sick. I still think about them when I start to feel sorry for myself, and it helps me get though the hard times. If they can be happy, why can't I?
