Medical Forum / Diseases and Disorders / Lupus / July 2003It's Kristin- remember me?
Hi All, I have missed the newsgroup and all of the support lately. I have been so blessed lately to be somewhat of a healthy state for almost 6 consecutive weeks! Two days ago I started feeling badly, and now am down-down-down big time. So I have to stop "doing" all that I've been busy with (we are putting an addition onto the house, remodeling the existing house, redoing both the front and backyards and driveway...) and rest. After reading what we all started around here, it's no wonder I got sick again. I guess when I feel good I just want to pretend I'm "healed" and do it all! Does anyone else do this? Anyway, I wanted to catch up with ya'll and to say "Hi". Sorry I've been gone for a long while, we were on vacation (Oregon and Washington) and came back to all of these projects. I had to disconnect my computer for awhile, then when I reconnected it, it got "sick" and had to go to the computer doctor. I just got it back two days ago and "poof" here I am. How is everyone? There's no way I can catch up by reading all of the posts... There's like 1800 new ones since I've been here. I sure hope everyone's busy having a wonderful summer. -Kristin __________________________________________________________________ Kristin M ICQ#: 236632019 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact me __________________________________________________________________ Hi Kristin, It is good to see you back. All of your home projects sound very exciting. It doesn't surprise me that you crashed. You have definitely overdone. I do the same thing. Overdo I mean. I too try to ignore the fact that even when I feel better, I am still chronically ill. Perhaps it is because I hate that label so much. I prefer to think of myself as a healthy person who gets really sick sometimes. At least we can accomplish some things and feel good about that. I hope to see more of you now that you have made your way back to us. BJ-Sk.

I'm feeling better today than the past few days. Not 100%, but better. My kids have been helping a LOT and have taken the load off in a big way. Hubby too- he's been working like mad to keep up with all that's going on. I, like you, hate the "label" of being chronically ill. I try to ignore it whenever possible! How are you feeling? From the looks of this board, lots has been going on around here! -Kristin > Hi Kristin, > It is good to see you back. All of your home projects sound very exciting.

I guess this is a place to find people who truly understand our problems. I think you have to live it to be in that position. Glad you are getting help around there. Sounds like your kids are keepers. Good for them. I am hanging in there. Always something coming up, but not so bad considering. BJ-Sk.

REST, recover - see you soon. > Hi All, > [quoted text clipped - 25 lines] > Kristin M ICQ#: 236632019 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact > me __________________________________________________________________ Hi Kristin, I think it is kind of the nature of lupus to "abandon" the group when you are feeling well. We each hunger fiercely to live a life that is "normal": to be relatively pain free, and to have the strength and energy to keep up with those we love... to "pay back" in a way, all the patience and caring that they have given us. I am glad you had that time, and I am glad to hear from you again, too. hugs and love Mair > Thart explains why I couldn't reach you when I was in the area for a day. > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Kristin M ICQ#: 236632019 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact > > me __________________________________________________________________ Hi Mair, I guess you're right about abandoning the group while feeling good. Like I said earlier, it's not that I don't think of you all when I'm not "checking in", in fact I think of you guys a LOT and worry about how you're doing. From the looks of this board, there are some new people here and some that are going through some very trying times... How are you? -Kristin > Hi Kristin, > [quoted text clipped - 42 lines] > > > Kristin M ICQ#: 236632019 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact > > > me __________________________________________________________________ Hi there! How have you been??? Sorry you couldn't reach me- things can get really nuts here. I feel badly that you couldn't find us. If you're ever in the area and can't reach us- leave a message on the phone... Or if it's a Saturday, you can "always" find the kids (and sometimes us!) at the gliderport. When will you be back in town? -Kristin > Thart explains why I couldn't reach you when I was in the area for a day. > [quoted text clipped - 29 lines] > > Kristin M ICQ#: 236632019 Current ICQ status: + More ways to contact > > me __________________________________________________________________ > Hi All, > > I have missed the newsgroup and all of the support lately.

So I have to stop "doing" all that I've been busy with <snip> Hiya Kristin! Welcome back. :) That's such great news that you had a long run of healthy days! Nothing better in the world. But with all that on your plate, no wonder you're down and out now! lol Keep resting and take it easy, hopefully you'll get back on your feet soon. -Sharon  Signature"Don't make me come down there..." -God Hi Kristin, welcome back, missed ya too :-) Glad your 'puter's better, take it easy now and stay in touch.
