TIRED

i'm tired
of tired
tired of weak and wobbly
tired of hot flashes
that make me nauseous
tired of stomach pain
with no apparent reason
tired of burned and sore breast
tingling fingers
tired of no hair
tired of the daily trip
to the grinding machine
that radiates me
that still makes me shake
tired of fear
and anxiety
tired of alone
tired of not being able to do
the simplest chore
tired waiting for a good day
just freaking tired of it all.......

When this is all over and you are not tired anymore, I hope you can look back at this time and treasure your life, sucky, fun, frustrating, sad, happy, loving, hating, lonely.....but a life! A nicer day is coming, just hold on. I love you, Geri

Hi Eileen!

Diane Giannini just arrived for a week's visit in Austin and asked to give you her love. I am looking forward to the day you can come and relax and enjoy the Austin area, our home and Jim's good cooking! We continue to hold you in our hearts.
Love, Charmiel

Of course you are tired of it all. I went back and read the first post in your blog, January 1st. Even before that came your first broken shoulder, your PMR, and the stress of the cancer diagnosis process. You have been holding on for soooo long. You need a break from it all. I don't know how you'll get one. I only know that I wish you some respite soon.

Love, Kathleen

There is a road at the end of the tunnel. Hang in there. You have done great so far. It is a long haul. Trust me I know but life will be better soon. Your Pal won the "Dancing with the Stars". I wanted Laila to win. I am in love with Max.

Love ya
