[QUOTE="ctmom05, post: 178283, member: 2901"] Heather, I must have missed something somewhere along the line - what's got you feeling so poorly? It's awful when one's body will not cooperate with what their mind wants them to do.....but then it's also telling something; that you need to engage in some self care and planning about what will make this process a little easier for you. It is wonderful that your mom is able to help. Let folks who can help do so, even the kids. Learning how things function around the house is one of the best things you can teach them. If you are up to it, spend some quiet time with the kids as you recover, maybe even one on one. Sit together, listen to music....have one of them read to YOU, the turnabout maybe enjoyed by all, or just conversate. The advice you got about hanging in there and not beating yourself up is right on. It won't help and right now you need to conserve your energy and build your stamina in baby steps. Recovery is a complex process and as I have always, always, always said - physical illnesses also have quite the emotional component. Do the best you can - we're all thinking of you, Heather!
