Back Again

It is good to be back as part of a "Family" & I guess that is how we all are united in the same way, I had to go to the clinic yesterday to get my blood pressure checked as it is sky high & the nurse was asking about Baz & suggesting outings etc that he could go, on I told her straight that he would not go, but I would ask him about it she said that she felt I was really stressed , I said no I don't get stressed & she said that she felt we could be friends & she would like to help, After I left I was sitting in the car crying as I realised that I have never really dealt with Baz's stroke & never let any one see how much it affected me, I have just kept really busy for 2 years & pretended I can manage ok with no help, except for all of you guys in the Strokenet & that has been my lifesaver as I have been able to gain so much from you all & all the different aspects of a stroke that I have been able to deal with!!

Funny how you don't realise some things until someone is nice to you, Baz won't go on any outings with other men but at least I know he can if he wants too!!

I have decided to look after myself more & get my diabetes under control (actually My Dr said that I have to or I won't be around for TO REACH OLD AGE), that is a good enough reason.

So the exersize bike is out & I have been really good with diet, etc but it is so hard when you really love food!!

I will do my best & keep you posted.

Glad you are taking care of yourself. There are some good books out now for cooking. Taste of Home magazine also has one called Light and Tasty. you can get recipes on line also.

 

I picked up one called Sugar Busters for my mother in law and Splenda is a substitute "sugar" you can bake and cook with.

 

Take care... (((((((((hugs))))))))))))0 Bonnie

Hey Anne, are you and I sisters? My set answer to the question: "How are you?" is "Fine thank you". My set answer to do I need a helping hand is:"No thanks, I can manage." Neither answer is particularly truthful but it saves long explanations.

 

We all need help, but it is usually very specific help and that is the difficulty. BUT you have diabetes and I have a liver problem and both become worse when we are stressed. SO if we want to live to be old and see the grandchildren grow up etc we have to find the kind of help we need to de-stress our very busy lives.

 

I just came home from visiting Ray and rang three friends hoping to have a chat and degbrief. Not one was home so I had a cry because I felt lonely and then came on here. You are right that this is a great support site but we also need a hug from a real friend sometimes too, even if it does make us cry. Think about the kind of help you need and search it out, it will give you and Baz a better life.

 

Sue.
