*shakes head and sighs* Oh wow, I'm really sad on hearing that things just seem to get worse for you guys - I know how happy you were to move out of California and all the hopes you had for Drew getting that car wriging job, you being able to spend the time with the kids and not have to worry about huge money problems and all the other worries life throws at us.

And I feel sorry for Drew - now I feel bad for being annoyed with him way back when when he wasn't working to get a job etc because he didn't feel well O_O That man has had a lot of bad luck, and now with this surgery gone bad, wow I can't even imagine.

And the borrowing money thing does suck - I hate it myself, luckily my parents volunteered this venture to Arizona, so they take responsability for it but I feel like a real mooch at times even though they say I am not because they are doing this to help us and it's their choice. I guess they really wanted me out of Salinas, even though we were doing good there, paying bills etc just fine but just not going anywhere, moving forward....eh...I dunno.

I've heard some really bad stories today and yesterday on people and what's going on in their lives, and I'm not going to complain so much about my own life anymore. Honestly I feel bad for everyone, I really have no right to bitch. :-(

Everyone has a right to bitch...or LJ would be awefully boring.

I had major guilt after Drew had so many health issues and then finally got diagnosed. I did a bunch of research and chronic fatigue is a huge deal for people with Fibromyalgia. After speaking to his drs I realized a lot of what I thought was pure laziness was really his inability to focus and total lack of energy. We are trying to cope...but everytime we think we have good news it turns into bad..its amazing how that happens. I went through some serious depression and took meds for 2 days. They made me worse in my opinion and finally I decided to pray my way through it. (yes i know that sounds crazy to you :) ) Took me a few days to get my head straight adn a few weeks to actually get my energy back to normal and not feel physically ill. Stress can do amazing things to your body and mind!! Anyway...I am going to be the bread winner of the family due to his health issues so now I just need to find a "real" job and the economy is not helping!! Michigan has the highest unemployment rate right now. yay us! But I still love it here.

No I don't find prayer weird at all, I do it myself but just in a different fashion. I think any good thoughts that lead to a positive outcome is never a bad thing, and the 'power of prayer' is definitally true, just viewed in different ways in terms of how the actual result came about. To me, it is all about the mind staying focused and hopefull. I was praying a few weeks back when my ferret was really sick and told Marco to pray to Jesus and see if that helped. I think me praying/getting it together mentally saved her life as I was able to come up with the diagnosis and treat with the proper medication and she's 100% better now.

Poor Drew, I feel bad for him now. It's got to be tought to not feel well all the time. I go through periods of time here and there when I feel exausted and that's hard enough. Never mind having to deal with it all the time plus other problems.
