[tri-wings] Re: 3 more weeks

Hi Sheila,
   
  I'm sorry you are so down even though you have every reason to be.  I broke 
my leg last year while hiking in the mountains, so I know exactly what you mean 
be being stir crazy.  It seems as though your break is a lot worse than mine 
was.  I hope it heals quickly.  At least you have most of the summer to look 
forward to being "cast free."
   
  I'm sorry about your mother and imagine that your grief must be overwhelming 
with everything else going on at the same time.  I don't know what it is like 
to lose a parent, but it must be very difficult if you are close to them.
   
  You have been such a shining light to me, even though you might not be aware 
of it.  Your kind words touched me in the midst of my initial grief and shock 
when I lost my precious baby Jillian.  You are always here for others, always 
remembering birthdays and angel days, always supporting someone in some way.  
Even though I don't respond so much I always read your posts and think of you 
with warmth in my heart.  Thank you so much for the Christmas card list.  The 
things you do and say mean so much to so many.  Thank you.
   
  I think some people either draw into themselves or reach out to others when 
they are depressed.  I tend to do the former and have been in a deep depression 
for some time now.  I'm feeling a little better and I hope your spirits will be 
lifted soon.
   
  Love,

  Hi everyone,
I just wanted to ask for prayers to uplift my spirit. I have had a 
cast on my foot and lower leg (right one so no driving) since April 
11th. Seven weeks. I thought I was going to get it off today, but 
instead the doctor pulled out one of the three pins and put on 
another cast. This one stays 3 more weeks. I'm going stir crazy. 
And I'm sleeping way to much.

And in the meantime, my mom passed away (April 24th). I've been on 
anti-depressants since before Hope was born (over 6 years) and 
disability since Christmas of 2005, and yet now, I feel like I'm at 
the bottom of the barrel again. It just doesn't seem to quit. 
Please help.

Hugs,
Sheila Helleson
