Somedays I feel just so overwhelmed with my life, and the pain that still persists in my neck..Lonliness, because my husband works a lot, and when he is home, there is so much house stuff to be completed, and I feel bad, cuz I can't do what I used to. Our marriage is on a up and down all the time, and my stress and his stress do not go well together. I am 10 years older, and have been thro a lot in the last 9 years, with all my chronic pain, and he feels it too, wants to fix everything.. I did get my neck fixed in Dec, but still have so many issues yet to be fixed.. Sometimes. I just cry, and can't stop/ I have God in my life, and helps a lot.. I also am a parent to a "Scarlet Macaw", which takes a lot of attention too... Bless us All....Amen..
