Time to be Thankful for His Blessings

Since this past year has been such a stressful year for me-I decided to look back and imagine if things went kittywumpus on me.
My Sis is well and on the mend-so to speak.
She is Cancer Free and she has regained alot of her ore Cancer Strength.
My Mother has been ill off and on with Pnuemonnia(sic)but seems to be doing ok and she has regained most of her Pre Stroke Strength as well.
Me-on the other hand-had a short episode of Depression.Never before have I experienced depression(speaking about myself)I didnt even know I was depressed.
Why would I get sad?
my Sis made it, my Mom made it.I have not lost the 2 closest people in my life outside of my children.We made it!
Why in the hell am I sad?
Is it the possibility I faced-that I may have lost them and that in and of it self was enough to send me over the edge?
For whatever reason, I was on an anti depressant and it made me barf for a day in a half and I felt lousy.
Dr. said it was not the meds it was a bug-so I am going to re start them-I guess.
Isnt it normal to be sad for a little while? Why do I have to take a pill just because I cried when I thought how lucky I really am?
My Son is being Deployed to Kuwait in feb, isnt it normal to be scared of that?Why do I need a pill because I am sad.
i function-I go to work every day, I eat and sleep and have a normal life otherwise.Do I realy need to be medicated?
At this time I would like to Thank God for all of the Blessings HE has given me this year.He truly works in mysterious ways.
I have lost a few friends here,for that I am sorry and will keep them in my prayers.
I am Thankful for my Fmaily and will try to be a better person in 2012.
Good Riddance 2011!

Susie sent you a hug.

you are the only one that knows the answer to taking the pills or not. You have to fight for what will help you. I have always been totally against taking anything, but sometimes life makes you change your tune. You have every right to feel the way you are feeling, it gets hard for women to carry the world on our shoulders sometimes. You said you are functioning but are you living life the way you think you should. You are doing great and i wish you continued strength and a very merry christmas.

Well, my my what a long way we have come.
Since my last post, Sis was in the hospital a couple of times and we finally have more answers.
She has damage to her Colon and a tiny bit to her intestines. So she gopt very sick throught the process but my oh my-the Hyper Baric(sic?)did wonders. She couldnt handle the first round as she was too ill but the subsequent treatments were successful:)
Although she has lost ALOT of weight-good thing she had it to lose or she could have been more ill.But she hung in there.
I had a few days of total exhaustion but thats peanuts compareed to what she had endured.
We are hopeful the next few Dr visits are good news-she had a very “light” pelvic exam as she is in no way ready to go the full exam-we are waiting another few weeks for that and to give her time to prepare-they did suggest a pain killer of some sort to take prior to the visit as it sounds like this will be a bit painful-again peanuts compared to what she had gone through.
Also-if all goes according to plan(yeah,right)she can look forward to the port being removed before the end of the year.
She still gets tired but keeps herself busy with small projects and she gets outside for a bit of gardening as well.
Most nights she can stay alone but her youngest daughter stays with her on occassion to help-where was she months ago?
doesnt matter now but I could have used the help-afterall I was trying to take care of my mother after her stroke and Sis at the same time and trying to be a good wife,mom,grandmother,daughter-and oh yeah-an employee!God knows the unemployeed in this family could have helped-but why would I expect help from people to lazy to work?-”Nuff Said!
Anyway-my Dad has started runnig marathons this year and the latest was a run for “Parents With Kids That Have Cancer” and I am so proud of him for that.
I had a lot of good advice from other bloggers and I have made a connection here with people that undeerstand.
i am grateful I have a place to come to vent,cry and share.Although not always good news I have support and I am not judged.
Thank you to all-I am blessed.
Till next time…
Mish
