So stressed - can't pay rent *Update* A Little Good News About Health Issues*

[Queen of Poop]

Awwww sweetie, I'm so sorry. You've just got so much stress. If you can find counselling help please get some. It does wonders. If there is anything I can do to help you please let me know.

It's so tough, Melissa, I know. When I was going through my dark night of the soul, I went out w/a friend and her boyfriend and right in the middle of our conversation, I broke down at the restaurant. I had no money, no job, my divorce was still fresh, I had so many outdoor cats that I was trying to rescue; it looked so bleak. Somehow I made it through. I can't say that anything cataclysmic happened to turn things around; life just kept on going and I kept on going w/it until I passed through it all. Just hold on tight until the boat stops rockin'. We're still praying for you here.

Thank you. I'm feeling semi-better right now. My back still hurts but I've been taking my pain pills but they didn't seem to help my cramping which is why I'm taking the lupron drug in the first place but hopefully the next 2 shots will work wonders.

Thank you all for your kind words. I've been seeing a new therapist since the start of Feb. and she is wonderful and it sucks that I have to pay to see her but I really like her and they won't lower her rate or do a payment plan but I really just don't want to see anyone else at the moment. I've been trying to stay current with her.

Thank you all again for your kind words and support.

I lit you a candle too, Melissa, which I hope will shed a bit more light to help you get through these dark times.

I'm so sorry you are undergoing such stress. My cats and I are all sending around loads of ~~~~~PURRS~~~~ and {{{{{{HUGS}}}}}} for love and easing of fears.

Lots of prayers and loving thoughts to you Melissa. You will get through it and we are all here to help and listen wherever we can. Lots of love to you

Well I just went to a doctor's appt. because back on March 12th I started moving some of my stuff out of our apartment because I thought we (my husband and I) were going to split up and I just moved a bunch of boxes around from the closet in to the dining room area and the next day my back and left knee were killing me.

It did get better by the following Tuesday so I went to the doctor and he thought maybe I had a cyst or something like that behind my knee and he recommended that I see an orthopedic surgeon and I finally had my appt. today even though my left knee is feeling better but it still hurts from time to time and my right knee has been hurting more and more as well.

So the guy came in and we talked and I explained my back issues and what not. They took some knee x-rays right there and he came back in and said he didn't know who told me about having arthritis in my right knee but there isn't anything.

I was so pleased, he showed me the x-rays and said on the left knee there is a very very small bone spure but nothing to worry about and I asked him about my back having influence on my knees and what not and he said he thinks that this is probably where my problem is from and not in the knee.

So it's good news in a way and then the other way it's not so good because my knees have been giving out on me lately which sucks but I can deal with that and the pain hurts but I guess it's just another thing I need to get used to but I'm so pleased there isn't any damage to my knees.

Well what was up is looking down but hopefully not for long I hope.

My husband contact this separate work program today and they were of no help at all.

I just want to thank you all who have contributed, it really means a lot and the prays and suggestions mean a lot as well.

Thank you,
Melissa
