Hello, my friends___

Mom went to Arizona to visit my sister. She ended up in the hospital on a ventalator and is now on hospice. She is becoming more weak each day. Would you send a card to her please? She is confind and feeling very alone. Her time is close. I am seeking as many cards as I can possibly generate to let her know she is not forgotten. It must be sent by snail mail as her computer is not in use. She is an MD Junction Member.

I have sent this request to some of you personally and to those who have responded...God bless you for your kindness. It will mean so much to her.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

TOotS

My aches and pains get the best of me some days, but we all feel the same way here, don't we? My biggest concern is that Mom knows she has not been forgotten. My husband and I have been reminded that we could go to more nursing homes and hospitals than we do..."we sing. For the kids we bring muppets and do fuzzy animal characters". I truly appreciate this from all who are able to help and love those who can't just as much. Gosh, make one by hand..it doesn't have to be fancy. Just remember that it's not a requirement of friendship. It's a great kindness if you are able.

Love___TOotS

Managing Chronic Pain:
Your Basic Rights:
People with chronic pain are often “people pleasers.” We find it hard to express our needs and require that others respect them. And when our needs are not met, tension is increased and our pain seems worse. But you do have the same basic rights that you grant to others.

You have the right to:
1.Act in a way that promotes dignity and self-respect.
2.Be treated with respect.
3.Make mistakes.
4.Do less than you are humanly capable of doing.
5.Change your mind.
6.Ask for what you want.
7.Take time to slow down and think before you act.
8.Ask for information.
9.Ask for help or assistance.
10.Feel good about yourself.
11.Disagree.
12.Not have to explain everything you do and think.
13.Say "no" and not feel guilty.
14.Ask why.
15.Be listened to and taken seriously when expressing your feelings.

Read and reread these rights so that you not only know them by heart, but so that they become part of your daily life.


Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.
~Winston Churchill

Love and many hugs, dear friends ~tracy

My hubby was in the hospital a few years ago, for heart arrythimma(?) and was scheduled to have his heart stopped then started back the next morning. He had been in for 3 days with no success.

Around 7pm we heard singing from down the hall. Iwent to door and listened. Several people came out of a room and I asked them if they would stop by his room. They answered yes because this was their night to sing on the Heart floor. they were from a local church.

They came in and sang a few request and a few of their chosing. About 30 mins into singing nurse came into room and said hubby's heart had leveled out. We all rejoiced.

His heart stayed that way so no shocking off it. We went home the next afternoon.

Sing honey, as much as you can. I was blessed enough to witness a miracle.

Hugs

Bits___Thank you for sharing from your heart and personal experience. I cannot tell you how truly blessed I feel to belong to the MDJ family. Connecting with others and sharing their struggles and triumphs gives each of us hope and strength to move through trials that present themselves in our own lives. Empathy and sympathy is the offering we all have to give and for me, it is a blessing.

Thank you for sharing, Bits It makes a difference.
