"Got It" - My Conversation with HP Today!!!

A earlier blog inspired gOOgle Search - Hamlet and his famous soliloquy To Be or Not to Be................

It is funny how a person can read and see the several times while gaining new understanding every time. Hamlet was having a conversation about the enduring pain of life versus stepping over the other side.

I was having a similar conversation with my Higher Power today. I am sooooo frustrated with my problematic hip. I will go to the doctor and he say, "no no you are not ready to get it replace and recommends an injection that works for about a week. I want to run a 5K, I want to go hiking, I want dance again!!!! I want to clean my kitchen without going "ouch owwww owwwww! I told my Higher Power if this is the way the reminder of my life is going to be, let me cross over to other side and start over again. I don't give God orders but I will and scream when things are not happening my way.

I was leaving the apartment head a meeting. I was hobbling the car with my cane. I encountered my neighbor who was heading her apartment with her four pronged cane. We had a conversation about our struggles with housekeeping chores. "The landlord is going write ," she said. "Don't worry, he will be writing too." Suddenly, I didn't feel so bad because I am not only one struggling." We both laughed and went on to our business.

I shared about it at the meeting. One man came after the meeting and telling me that his wife was a massage therapist and could help. I have hired her before. Another woman recommended two doctors at the clinic where she works. So I have some phone calls to make Friday morning.

Maybe my Higher Power was listening to my b*tchy whinny self after all I don't have to deal with it the same way than Hamlet did.

Sometimes after a good "bitch session" things begin to take on a different perspective and doors appear that we hadn't noticed before.


Be a prism, spreading God's light and love, not a mirror reflecting the world's hatred.

I feel your pain , Star and know how exhausting it can be. My arthritis has been giving me hell the last few weeks.It just seems to flare up from time to time, and this one is lasting longer than usual. I hope you get some kind of pain relief soon.
