Been awhile here’s an update....

Hello all its been quite awhile since I’ve posted the run down as follows .... I’ve decided against a lung transplant I’m going to stay true to who I am, I’ve moved my bedroom so I no longer have to tackle stairs, my oxygen use was just when I was up and moving around now It’s pretty much 24/7, and most of all I do all I can to conserve energy so I have energy to feel relevant as a wife to my husband. Dealing with the issues of situational depression or just flat out depression winter is always worse for me. My nephew whose mom (my sister) who passed away May 11, 2014 his father placed him in a psychiatric facility because he had began acting out after changing schools. He has aspergers he is incredibly intelligent but seriously hadn’t dealt well with his moms passing. This distresses me because I had told his father to get him help after he spent the summer with me 2014. I can’t speak to him even and I have been vigilant in trying to maintain a close relationship. I don’t know I guess I’m rambling on because there is nothing I can do as I’m not healthy enough to become his legal guardian which if I was I would file complaints and fight for custody. Sometimes I wonder if the higher power out there is trying to kill me. I was very close to my sister and she would never ever institutionalize her son a day program yes but not 24/7. I argued with my brother in law its just a crappy situation. Sorry....

Other than above I am still battling my thoracic pain which Has been getting worse since I’ve become less active, and my psoriasis is still the same. I spend most of my time sleeping and watching TV oh and crocheting.

I hope, wish and pray everyone has a marvelous year....blessing to all.
