I’m feeling slightly less dizzy today, so I just put a load of laundry in the washer.

My “mental health” goal is to do something on my master bedroom closet every day.  I took the shelving out in April or May, and ordered a new shelving system.  It’s been sitting in my hallway for the last 4 or 5 months.  Since it’s stressing me, my goal is to ge…[Read more]

I actually got to sleep in the morning, however, since I was up until the wee hours of the morning, that’s not really saying a whole lot!

Still shredding papers (how can we have this much?), giving my husband a haircut, taking a set of bed room furniture that my husband has been repairing over to my son’s. (it’s the furniture that my husband and…[Read more]

Wow Nik … stress is word!  I totally agree with all above.  Take the time you need to care for yourself … fight with your insurance … let others with knowledge help you … your stress management plan is amazing and you deserve to follow your own advice.  We are all here for you … thinking about and praying for you!

Today (actually the whole weekend) will be spent on working on the house. I’ve spent most of the day shredding old papers from the filing cabinet. Just right beside me, I have a box and a half to go and I know that there is probably still another box worth I haven’t seen yet.

Breakfast was a protein shake

Lunch was a half a ham and cheese…[Read more]

Nik, I don’t know what to say but am deeply sorry for what you have to deal with right now and as everyone has said we are there for you just like you are always there for us. I’m in as far as what our community decides to help YOU.

Hugs and prayers!! 💗💗💗

Wow! This makes my stress seem like nothing!

Having had to deal with many, many doctors and especially surgeons through the years. (a child with chronic (and a lot of times acute GI hemorrhages), the thing that immediately popped into my mind is that you need to get a consultation with a third reconstruction surgeon. If he concurs that the first…[Read more]

For the most part I did manage to eat healthy this week. Other than that, I didn’t do so well with planning my time, following the 5k training (although I was quite active) and didn’t finish my self assessment (and am totally bummed about this).

This weekend it is my goal to do some serious planning around my new routine. So I will be be making…[Read more]

Today is going to be “catch up” day, since my whole daily routine has changed dramatically. Need to do some serious planning for this weekend so I will feel less stressed. Definitely need to plan meals better, find time for me and my 5k training, etc. I am totally bummed as I didn’t finish my self assessment on time, but will continue to work on…[Read more]

Agree on the stress management – let us core group of FNC help out for you if needed. And if you need more text-accountability-gym buddies, I’m in. Mutually beneficial. Or, kick the food demo to one of us and see what happens? Technology already makes them interesting. I think people are interested in learning more.

I’m a good tech person so if…[Read more]

Ok Nikki — what everyone has said above is true!!! It is now our turn to be there for you!!! You have been there for us and continue to be here for us as you go through this STRESSFUL situation!!!  We are here for YOU!!!  Let us know what we can do and please don’t be shy (that’s not your style — 😀) or afraid to let us help you in anyway we c…[Read more]

Thursday night I got to bed a little after 2:00 am.  As for Friday night, it is now 6:24 am on Saturday, and I haven’t been to bed yet.  Oh, well.

Didnt get out today, not even for mail.  Not comfortable walking down my steps right now.  Maybe tomorrow (today?).  Still thinking on Friday time, but it already is tomorrow😄

Had about 50 ounces to d…[Read more]

Wow!  That sucks. Hopefully you can get some insurance help. Your stress plan sounds good. Wishing the best!

Yup!  But sadly, I fell short on one strength workout. I didn’t realize how many extra events I had this week.

Nik, I might be able to help. I’ve worked in health insurance for 20 years and know the system. If you want me to look, send me some details about your plan – the policy would be great if you have it.

Meanwhile, I think your stress mgmt plan sounds solid – you’ve got this!

I hadn’t thought about that.  If you have to wear one 24/7 it definitely needs to be comfortable!!!  Once you find one then having several is a definite need!!!  🙂

<p style=”text-align: left;”>Today has been a good day so far! My husband surprised me last night with dinner out at our favorite Mexican restaurant. So I have LEFTOVERS!!!!! My sister called right as I was getting out of the shower and said she and my 2 year old grandson were at the park. So I threw on some clothes, clipped up my dripping hair…[Read more]

Wow, just wow! I had a feeling that it might be something along those lines. The first thought I had was a go fund me account! I know you may be reluctant to do that, but I can’t think of a better purpose for one!
