Whine, whine, whine

[lizziegrace]

my arms are killing me. The one that's fractured and the other with a screaming case of tendonitis from over-use. I can't even brush my hair easily.

Today, I have to get groceries, 10 gallons of fuel oil (which must be poured into the furnace fill pipe) and do laundry. While the latter seems easy, I cannot pull the clothes up and out of the washer. The fuel oil is a nightmare. The company will only deliver 150 gallons/minimum and I cannot afford it. It's as expensive as gasoline right now. I bought two 5 gallon gas cans and fill them at a fuel depot in town. Then I hoist them up to pour into the pipe.

I'm tired. Can't sleep and cranky.

Anyone got a hug? Better yet, anyone wanna come over to help. (I NEVER ask for help unless it's desperate. :( )

2. I live too far away

to come over and help. Can any of those tasks wait? I find that sometimes a day's rest, together with some aspirin, really helps to get over the worst of the pain.

[lizziegrace]

4. I wish they could wait - I have 4 more weeks recovery

the indicator on the fuel tank is reading below 1/8. It's old and I can't risk running it dry. Laundry? I have to work tomorrow and my good clothes are dirty.

I'll just suck it up and get it done, then crash with ice bags and ibuprofin and tylenol. :(

I'm glad someone else is responsible for the horses and calves in the barn. ;)

Thank you. :hug:

[Fran Kubelik]

3. Aw - that sounds overwhelming.

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

6. Yep

life has been such that I usually only have myself to rely on. I have a friend who would help, but she was injured in a car accident over a year ago and cannot lift more than 5 pounds.

:(

[Fran Kubelik]

8. I am sorry about that. I wish I could help.

I will be here with sympathy and hugs, though. :hug:

[Omphaloskepsis]

5. I would love to help...

But I live 1500 miles away. I hug is the best I can do. :hug:

You could try calling the "meals on wheels" people and see if they could send someone to help. Or call a local Church. You don't have to be religious for them to help.

[lizziegrace]

14. Thank you

:hug:

[Ptah]

7. hug, hug, hug

:hug: :hug: :hug:

I can't be there, but I'd help if I could.

We could sit in the garden and have coffee

[lizziegrace]

[undeterred]

9. Do you prefer red whine or white whine?

:hi:

[lizziegrace]

10. Red actually

What cheese goes well with that?? ;)

[lizziegrace]

11. I'm heading out

to get this done. I called someone to see if they can help with the fuel oil when I get it home.

I tried cutting up vegetables last night. If I were a chef, I'd be out of a job. ;)

Thank you all so much.

:hug:

[Dangerously Amused]

15. Here you go sweet lizzie.

It's my bestest hug. I save it for special occasions, and this is certainly one of them:






Another thought: You might want to try calling your local social services agency. If they can't help you they will probably know of someone who can. That is basically their job - to put citizens in need, whether permanently so or temporarily - in touch with the resources to help them. And hell, you pay for it already with your taxes so you might as well take advantage of them.




:meditates: ( ( ( ((( ...all good things to lizziegrace...))) ) ) )

[lizziegrace]

16. Thank you

:*

:hug:

[QMPMom]

17. I wish I could come help.

I would if I could. I'd bring the crew with me and we'd get it all done. Feel better soon. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

22. Thank you

going from being self-sufficient to barely getting things done is maddening. Temporary (and for that I'm very lucky) but maddening all the same.

:hug:

[gbate]

18. I'm sorry. I know the pain of tendonitis. Try to rest up as much as you can.

[lizziegrace]

23. I'm sorry you do

It's much more painful than any fracture I've had. And it never quite goes away.

:hug:

[GOPisEvil]

19. I'd help if I could.

:(

Have a one-armed hug. :pals:

[lizziegrace]

24. Thanks sweetie

:hug:

My papoo would approve. ;)

[Ariana Celeste]

20. hugs

I'd come out and help if I was in the area! :hug:

Make sure to take it nice and easy when you finish everything up. Maybe soak in the tub. :)

[lizziegrace]

25. I'm going to find a sappy movie

and spend the evening using ice packs on both arms. ;)

I always did know how to have a good time. :hug:

[KitchenWitch]

21. I would be there in a hot minute to help if I was not 2000 miles away!

:hug:

[lizziegrace]

27. We're all so far apart

:(

:hug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

26. My dear lizziegrace!

I am so sorry........:hug:

How about lelapin? Is she available for a few hours?

And you know I'd be there if I could.......boy, would I! :pals:

[lizziegrace]

29. I know you would

and I appreciate that.

Lelapin's in Columbus at the dorm. Finals week is coming up.

:(

[RevolutionaryActs]

28. Aw. I'm so sorry LG!

:hug:


I wish I could help. :(

Only thing I can think of to help is to ice your arm with the tendinitis. It's the only thing that helps. I know from experience. :hug:

[lizziegrace]

30. I'm going to crash with some ice

bleh. The secondary injury is much worse than the original one. :(

[RFKHumphreyObama]

31. I would come if I could Lizziegrace

But you can definitely get a hug and my best in terms of thoughts, prayers and best wishes :hug: :hug: :hug:

[lizziegrace]

32. You're so kind

:hug:

My ice pack sprung a leak yesterday. Couldn't figure out why my arm was all wet. :)

It was replaced and life goes on.

:hug:
